has a mac beyond repair
My girlfriend is PROBABLY getting a new apple laptop! But she keeps claiming that they only "look cool" and that they actually "suck". We all know this is not the case, but please reply with reasons why she SHOULD get an apple. She'll be using it for schoolwork, Burning CDs, Web Surfing, and Downloading Music. No Photoshop, no Final Cut. Shes getting it tomorrow though! So tell her why she needs an apple!!!!
 
Mac users are a lot more sexier than windows users :D

It will be simplier for her. No hassle like with all the windows virii, trojans, windows exploits.. just use the computer and enjoy.

She can run 10,000 mac os x application on the mac, AND most *BSD and Linux and Unix apps can be easily run too .. (and if she'd need anything from windows world, thre is VPC ).

You'll love her more if she gets a mac ;)
 
didn't have any crash since panther installation. That's quite some time. Does any windoze box compete to this?
The combination of hard- and software can't be beaten by any pc laptop and ms os. The price for the iBooks is very reasonable. And networking will be a pleasure. Which ms can communcicate with any unix based os? She could have full ms network sharing: drives and printers if she would pick a mac.
Last but not least: macs are known to be the best systems concerning bluetooth support.

The performance part is very polarizing. Some benchmarks show this way some different. My point: everything beside games runs faster than any pc. I switched in 2002 and I know what I am talking about.. ;)
 
Personally drunkmac I think she used words like that just to throw you off.She may not want you using her gear ;)
 
Set her up an account on your PowerBook. Turn on some cool features like dock magnification (but not to a ridiculous level). Put some cool apps in the dock like iTunes, iPhoto, Safari (don't forget to let her have a 'net experience). Let her do whatever she wants to it -- don't watch over her shoulder, don't guide her, don't say a word. Leave the room if possible.

Come back in an hour and then go get her new Apple laptop.
 
yeah just let her use your powerbook for like an hour and don't be there while she uses it. Then let her go back to her windows computer and once she sees the busy icon come up when she clicks "Start" she'll drive you both to the Apple store, buy an Apple laptop, and pay up front for an ultra-pre-order powerbook G5 for you. :)
 
threaten to withhold technical support (while secretly knowing you will never have to give it again)

worked on my mother
 
Tell her if she gets a PC you'll dump her. :-D

Nah, it sounds like the Mac is the ideal machine. "She'll be using it for schoolwork, Burning CDs, Web Surfing, and Downloading Music." Well, need I say more?
 
You can tell her that the Mac is actually more compatible than windows machines, that there are no viruses for the Mac, that you do not need even to switch it off at night but just send it to sleep, that you can keep the system and applications running for weeks without a hitch, you can tell her that there are Mac versions of Office and MSN etc. ... but you also could open a bunch of apps and then press Shift - F9 - Tab ... :D

And her grandfather said to me: "You cant get Microsoft Office for the Mac and stuff". I showed that MS Office Student edition on my powerbook, internet explorer, and my middle finger.

hahahaha
i hate ignorant people!
 
This entire post is based on your girlfriend's assumption that macs suck, without ever having used one first. Is this endemic of a larger problem for her? :) She needs to just open her mind, give one a try and she will never go back to the pc/darkages.
