Why not to get a mac?

Cianos · 2008-06-01 10:41:37

I'm thinking of getting a new laptop, and a friend told me I should get a mac. I never really considered it before, but I guess I'm open to the possibility. So, what would be your reasons as to why I shouldn't get a mac?

I don't care who does or doesnt use them; ive got a new macbook in front of me (not mine) and the screen is sub-par. A lot of light leakage.

Well known issue- Apple are being sued at the moment for their so-called high end monitors when the colour display is sub par on them.
Besides I'm happy with Windows.
I'm a gamer and I use Vista 64bit at home and it runs flawlessly. Same for my work system which is XP. Have never got a blue screen on any of my work systems in over 10 years of using them..probably because I only use certified drivers/programs to use with them. And they've been changed on a yearly basis.
OS X is the same basically..apple control what you can run on it/install hardware so it's easy to get it stable.
