I can't even play games on my PC. Every time I play, after 30 minutes windows closes it

Its hard to use because you got the most low-end laptop they have made in recent history.

Its hard because I got it when MacBooks where not out yet. And I like my iBook

lol iBooks have a 1.33 GHz G4 with 40 gigs HDD, I have a supercharged 2.16 GHz C2D with 160 flower;

Truthfully, I don't give a Bidoof's ass Title. I have done fine with 1.33GHz G4, 768MBs of Ram and 40GBs of hard drive disk space since 2005, and I'll keep it even if I get a MacBook, but I can't because I'm poor, and can't afford nice things.
@prettygirl: I do like small laptops, I originally wanted an 11inch PowerBook but the iBook was cheaper

ya shit those macs are soooo cheap
You should've gotten the powerbook, it might not have been replaced as quickly spam;

When you factor in the discounts Apple offers and the lifespan of Macs, yeah, they are fairly cheap. $1000 for a computer that can run the latest OS eight years from now is a damn good deal. powerofone;

They also have ridiculous resale value. An iBook G3 could still go for 300 bucks.

Macs being Macs doesn't somehow make them immune to Moore's law. psyduck;
Not to mention that upgrading can be more difficult, meaning one would have to buy an entirely new model.

One would not have to buy an entirely new model, because unlike PCs people upgrade, they don't come with shitty specs that you have to upgrade yourself.

I'd rather have my computer COME with 1 gig of RAM and a 200 gig Hard Drive than have my computer come with 512 RAM and an 80 gigabyte hard drive that I'd have to upgrade myself.

You can customize a PC when buying it, too. psyduck;

as bassir said
Also, up until the new lines were just announced, the lower-end iMacs (which Zach would have to get because he's poor) came with just 512MB of memory. One could have easily found a far cheaper PC with a GB of memory. psyduck;

And Windows Vista hogs up every little byte.
Mac OS X runs perfectly fine on just 128 megs of RAM, and can even be run on as little as 64. psyduck;

I disagree, OS X needs a lot of Ram. IMO it runs smoothly on at least 512 or 768

Any OS when slapped on more powerful hardware will perform better. I've used OS X Tiger on some of the first iMacs, and it's pretty damn smooth.
NERDGASM AAAAAAAAAAAA

Well, I do a lot of media work, so the work I do I need a lot of power
But windows XP needs a lot of CPU power, it's hard on even a 1.6GHz AMD

So, you'd be fine with your mac running on 128 MB? psyduck;

Then "Activity Moniter" sucks.
uh yeah the actual rendering can take up quite a bit of resources

Yea, if you're using something like Final Cut Pro. iMovie is pretty straight forward.
