Either you were playing from the integrated card or you bought a video card from the 90's because WoW does not take high end video card to play it.

You can also group in the people that buy them because they "look" better, but honestly if you buy a $1400 HP/Dell/Gateway/Asus whatever, it will look just as good, you cant compare a $1600 apple laptop to your $600 crap-tastic dell.

2) I don't mean this in a bad way, but people that are too out of the tech age to use a pc correctly and will end up with spyware/virus infections, like parents and grandparents. But then again, build them a PC with the same specs as the Apple you would buy them, and put linux on it, they will never know and will save 1/2 the price, but not everyone has someone that can build it for them, so this is one of my 2 choices for people who really could use an apple.... but wait, Asus, MSI etc all make net-tops and small form PCs now that run on Intels atom platform, complete PCs for under 500 bucks that run on LINUX!!!! oops, apple is not needed.

3) Which brings me to what I have been saying for years, the ONLY reason Apple has made it though the rough times, is Video, Music, and Picture editing. Apple has programs for it that are the premier movie editing software out there, so unless you run a music or movie studio, you got ripped off.



HELL YEA!!! LINUX FTW. I have Ubuntu Intrepid running dual boot on my old laptop with XP. You can do so much more customization in linux, and the best part is that its all free linux looks so much better than the crappy mac and vista effects. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHClD3f1q9U You can have FOUR DESKTOPS running at the same time.

I agree with both people quoted above. However, Linux is definitely not for everyone - it is MUCH easier to "break" things when you're screwing around in Linux as opposed to Windows or OSX. You have to be very careful about what commands you run, especially when people are giving you tech support on the internet if you run into problems. Some people are assholes and give Linux n00bs commands that delete their entire hard drive...so the lesson here is research all commands that people tell you to run. :P

Some other things - if you have a Windows program that you really want to run on Linux, check out http://winehq.org - there is a chance that an "emulator" (even though it's not really an emulator, don't ask) can run your Windows program at the same speed as it runs on Windows, or even faster in some cases. This even works with games and such...I know most steam games work pretty well, including Condition Zero.


Here's a picture of Linux running CS:

Cool, I'm switching to Linux later this week some time probably, so I'll try that out and see how it goes...
