Why are Macs preferred over PCs?

[rentaspoon]

Same reason why people buy a Lexus instead of a top of the range Toyota.

I have both 

r9 390 + i5 4670k for my Gaming PC at home

and an old Macbook Pro 2010 for Uni work. Purchased 2nd hand for £230 threw in an SSD and works very very well, just use it for Spotify, general chrome browsing, linking up my MAC to a TV in uni for presentations is nearly invaluable and being able to have a laptop anywhere is amazing! + It's fairly light and I LOVE the way it looks, added a few stickers for personalisation and well worth the money!

Some people just like them, usually those who 1.dont know anybetter and 2. dont even want to know anybetter. I personally would never buy apple product, but someone who isnt into tech n stuff might see it as good deal for its simplicity. I just cant understand buying every new phone they release, that is just insane, but same happens to samsung phone users.

 

EDIT. not everyone buys new phone when they come obvs, but some do

Not really, "quality" is certainly a factor in car buying, i work in the industry, even if your removed the badges off a car, I could tell the difference between a ford, and a BMW

Material quality is the main differnece, general fit ,finish and feel etc

[themctipers]

becuase some people enjoy using it? well i do enjoy using a mac, i would't just buy one and pay the premium just for the design of the os

 

i mean i would hackentosh it.

but after that, i saw the preformance overhead on csgo and minecraft and im just like: nooooooope.

Oi! I work for Ford! BMWs aren't what they use to be

 

To be fair, it depends on what your buying new Mustangs and Mondeos vs Ecosport and B-Max and i don't think much of the BMW engines either.

 

I used Lexus and Toyota as an example because they are basicly the same vehicle underneath (The same way Ford and Jag where)

Ford are great cars, but I wouldn't buy one, I just dont like them,

 

The thing with jag and ford, ok they shared a common platform, but the "experience" was decidedly differnet, performance, interior trim, sound looks etc, one was a mondeo one was a jag, 

 

I mean, a Nikon D810 and Sony A7R share the same sensor? does that mean they are the same camera? one a professional DSLR, one a compact mirrorless camera?

 

Its not just because of a badge, or the brand, you get a better experience with premium products, you pay for that experience but its there
