Windows 8 is to windows 7 as Windows vista is to windows XP....I would stay away from 8 and go with 7. The only thing I would disagree with bryon is that OSX has more user friendly video editing SW, as OSX is designed for people who are computer retarded.
Saying Windows 8 is as bad as Vista is stupid. Saying Windows 8 is bad because of the stupid metro GUI is silly. Install start8 or classic shell and
your good to go.
Macs are for
computer retarded people though.
*You're
Posted from my MacBook Air too
BTW, I'm a successful ICT tech and have a lot of experience with large-scale networking, telephony and automation. So I'm hardly computer retarded.
MacBooks are the best laptops on the planet, hardware and software wise. Sorry if you can't deal with that.
I find humour in people such as yourself, lukey1990, I really do.
You correct me by saying "your" is actually "you're" and then you proceed to butcher the English language with your terrible grammar. We are on an internet forum were being very formal in writing is unnecessary. Correcting such a mistake to make yourself look or feel superior, which it appears to be, then proceeding to write in an informal fashion is quite an ironic presentation you've made. This is the internet where people can write poorly like you have, ignore errors, or spell differently on purpose. Honestly, I couldn't care how I spell on the Internet, I am not going to write all the time as if I am writing another 300 page paper.
Mr. lukey1990, most consumers who use an Apple computer are computer illiterate, and they want something unanimously simple despite the great cost they have to endure for that simpleness. You or I can easily use a Mac, Linux, or Windows PC, but not everyone can handle that like we can. People need to learn how to adapt(not want everything over simplified) and use technology because the world is gradually evolving into a technological beast, so to speak.
You need to consider that on a hardware level that a Dell laptop or an Apple laptop are not much different. On a software level things are quite different for these two computers. I don't want to start a Windows PC vs Apple PC debate, but your comment about mac-books being the best laptops on the planet "hardware-wise" is a sad statement, and not true.
The following statement just screams(I hate using this word/s too) fan-boy.
"MacBooks are the best laptops on the planet, hardware and software wise. Sorry if you can't deal with that. "
Haha. I'm not against using using abbreviations you know... I'm not an English expect, it's a pretty complex language. I only picked that out because it's humorous.
And yeah, saying they're the best laptops in the world may sound like a fanboy thing to say, if you think I'm incorrect post some evidence (I'm speaking generally, not for something like playing games, although openGL is brilliant).
Mac laptops are made from metal and glass. They don't bend when you pick them up by a corner, and the keyboards aren't like trampolines. The trackpads are second to none.
And it's not a huge deal if other people are too ignorant to check into it, but Windows is worse to use than Linux (Ubuntu etc) and OS X. Scrolling is a clear example of how much nicer OS X is to use, you don't lose your place when it jumps and you only wanted to move half a line up or down...
This isn't the 80s anymore, we expect computers to work without fairly regular reinstalls and be a pleasure to use. That isn't too much to ask.
Would you be okay with buying a car that has mechanical HVAC controls? No, because things improve and better stuff becomes the standard we expect.
