"Cool things" is definately open to interpretation.
For gaming, Mac is not the system. For price, Mac is not the system. For a Masculine look, Max is NOT the system. But say for 3D design, among other things, Yeah, Mac'd be the way to go. If you can afford it. Depends largely on what you do with your computer. I stick with PC cuz it's cheaper for my purposes, and it does what I need it to do without blowing up.

As for the Mac vs. PC ads on TV those are the kind of ads that make me vote for the other guy. I despise mudslinging. If you can't win me on your pro's I don't really care about so-n-so's cons.

And those Ads are full of presumptuous bullshit.

I wanna see the PC guy go "Enjoy all 8 of your applications, kid" hehe..

thanks for wasting my life with those videos Trogdor!

so basically Mac's dont have many games? Who has time for games these days?

If you are actually intending to get something done, the lack of games might actually be a really good feature.

"Macs are good for 3d design" really depends on the type of 3d design. Most engineers tend to go for PCs for mechancal/electrical design.

I would say : "Macs are good for media", entertainment, multimedia, presentation graphics - that sort of stuff. They're good not because the tools aren't available on the PC... but because they integrate a lot better on the Mac.

I do a fair amount of video editing on one of my PC's (Boxx quad processor monster) - Premeir, Photoshop, etc... the tools all work but I have to do clunky things like use open source tools to transcode DV input files to get the timecodes straight before I can work with them. I suspect on a Mac it's a LOT more straightforward than using 3 seperate applications just to get the video to the point where you can import it into Premier.
