:I NEED SOME BUT KICKING BENCHMARKS FOR MY STUPID PC FRIENDS TOO LOOK AT, do u know where i could find some?:confused: ::ha::
 
Sorry to disappoint but you're not really going to find any benchmarks on how a Mac will beat a PC as far as pure processing power.

The main component of the reason that I enjoy them is that they seem to be more stable and easier to use. The OS makes sense. Windows seems way to thrown together for me.
 
You won't FIND SOME BUT KICKING BENCHMARKS FOR MY STUPID PC FRIENDS TOO LOOK AT, sorry.

But IF YOU TOOK IT MORE CALMLY you could show them, with a bit of technical knowledge, how Macs beat PCs on color management, for example.
 
or show them a mac and then show them a pc and then say "that pc is an ugly little box - my mac is a beautiful apple." then show them how great osx is. have them use it as their primary computer for a month straight and then see what they say about macs.
 
why are macs better then and why are they said to be more powerful if the benchmarks dont show?

In the interest of reproducibility and maximizing scores, benchmarks to designed to remove the human element and much of what is required for the computer to get the human's work done.

The human is the most important element and the human's work is the only reason for buying the computer in the first place. Yet no benchmark measures how quickly the user can compose a memorandum, develop a spreadsheet and calculate the quartily financial numbers for a business, or paint a copy of the Mona Lisa.

The exact opposite is true. Many computers are really useless to a large number of their users when configured for benchmarking. For example, benchmark writers suggest that networking and virtual memory be turned off while the benchmark executes. To the large contingent of users who use their computers only for email and surfing the web, and for those who use their computers to access a corporate database, the benchmark means absolutely nothing.
 
Having a great OS is a good argument, but let's face it, without some real processor improvements sometime soon (i.e. within the year), a good OS will start to mean lesser and lesser. :(

Apple, please find a faster processor!

Behind kicking may not be but a kick anyways here:

In Photoshop, in the test that supports dual cpus, the Macs come ahead than the Wintel although the Wintel, depending on the opposite Mac, has even up to 1GHz difference in speed!!!

Also, in all the other test which, if you prefer, the software may NOT support the Macs THAT good, the Macs lose but not with great difference...

One area that may surprise 99% of even the majority of Mac fans is that when the computers run all the apps at the same time the Mac comes on top!

This, the last part, to me was OLD news because for SO long I post here and elsewhere that Macs indeed can multitask a lot better than Wintels...

But in the end after all said and done, Macs are better than Wintels simply because... :D :p ;) :cool:

LOL! Color management! Worth the extra 4000$ right there.

Macs might not have the same overall market share but are the industry standard for many areas - graphic design, music production/recording, video editing, education to some extent. We could do with faster processors (I'm getting excited about the 970 and 10.3) but a lot of computer use is about efficiency and we all know that osx is great in terms of how productive a gui it is.
