Mac and CSS?

[$Money$]

Thinking about getting a Mac, anyone using one right now? Just curious to see if they have any problems with running Steam? :wtg:

Who the fuck uses a Mac? What are you, a faggot?

I have heard of some strange cs:s problems in the past not sure if they ever got fixed. I know that you can not run NS2.

Why spend so much money on a golf cart?

MACs are just like golf carts they work great on the golf course and do not require a lot of maintenance however they want you to pay 30% more than what an SUV will cost.

Mean while an SUV can drive most anywhere and runs circles around golf carts but requires oil changes.

Also as car as anti virus goes MAC needs them too so your not helping yourself there...

Just like a golfcart and SUV there is nothing a golfcart can do that an SUV can not but there is a fuck ton of shit the SUV can do that the golfcart can never do, like go over 30mph.

Macs are great. Some people just can't afford them. However, their mouse APIs are shit and will result in a lot of aiming lag. Install Parallels and run Windows for CSS.

some people can afford them, but prefer to put those dollars into making a machine that's not a piece of shit.

would you rather have:

1 pc, 1 ps4

or

1 mac

?

unless you're producing music or doing crazy video editing... you don't need a mac.

I'm using an iMac right now. I also installed Windows 7 on it so I can have the best of both worlds. Obviously I can't upgrade my GPU and core but for now this works.

I do plan on building my own PC though.

so...you obviously don't have the best of both worlds. its like making bacon, except its turkey bacon. turkey bacon on top of dog shit.

yes, you have windoes (bacon) but its not real bacon because you can't upgrade the GPU and core hence its not the best (TURKEY bacon), and its all on top of a steaming pile of shit.

...If you're gaming. For an all-purpose laptop, it's the best for me. Trust me, I tried every other brand before giving in.


unless you're producing music or doing crazy video editing... you don't need a mac.

I don't even think they're the best at video editing, anymore...

[brett friggin favre]

The last time I used a Mac for video editing was 6th grade. Coincidentally that was the first time I had ever done video editing. I was forced to edit in Avid on macs last semester, and after Avid crashed the second time I said fuck that, took it to my room and edited on my laptop using Premiere. Also I'm not sure about avid, but premiere starting with cs5 they've added constant rendering with GPU support, meaning having a good, upgrade-able gpu is highly helpful. Side note, avid is total fucking shit.

Macs are not for gaming, they likely never will be seeing as how locked down the operating system is (thank you Apple)

like trying to mod a game, the modders can only do so much and it's ultimately up to the game devs to fix/patch/update flaws in their software to allow the modders to do as they please

ultimately it's up to Apple as to if a game will end up compatable for the mac OS, and apple is stingy and selfish (in so far as they are with their mac operating system's freedom)

Apple seems to make a lot of money by pushing out products that reserve Apple's complete and utter power over each and every device. They have a control-boner (read Ctrl + Bnr on windows and Cmd + Bnr on mac ) and up their prices. Make their products look nice and shiney and the fishes will be drawn in and shovel money into their gaping orifices. Windows is leaning towards this but the nature of the core of the OS makes work-a-rounds easier. I have windows 7/Ubuntu on my laptop. Never going back to single boot :P

Linux, batch processing between PC's, and some custom configured pure beast workstation GPU's are what pros use for video editing and CI anyhow. One wouldn't try to use this for gaming, and out would not work quite as good, but would blow your gaming PC away in raw power. Everything is tuned for something, a MAC is simply tuned for cashflow and stability between OS and hardware. The ONLY thing a Mac is good for is an all around overpriced yet very stable office and media machine, preferably laptop, that you don't plan on updating and using purely as is.
