WishboneDawn Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I know we're here and I know I'm not the only one that's completely in love with her PCs. I'm also sure I'm not the only one who's a little tired of the Mac posts that are full of smiles and rainbows and unicorn farts. At last count I have 6 working PCs though only four are hooked up right now. Dell, IBM, ACER, Toshiba, Compaq and ancient clone and all work exceptionally well. So prance around Mac users with your devices bearing the cute little tribal stamp of an apple that cost an arm and a leg, I do not envy you. I can be a gamer, I can crack my cases and mod and upgrade to my hearts content, I can buy a new computer and still have money left for a car payment.

C_l_e_0..Q_c Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 :iagree: However I have to say we're a dual boot family. Four PCs (3 of them laptops) and two MAC (1 is a laptop). I am not counting the no longer used iMac that's gathering dust in the basement. DH goes on Mac because he's on a PC all day at work, as a software engineer. At home he wants to relax, and thus the change in platform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heather in Neverland Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 While I do own an iPad, my heart belongs to PCs. We have 2 Dell laptops, 1 acer laptop and a Dell desktop. Let me tell you, that desktop is 6 years old and has been moved to two different states, all the way to the other side of the world, the bin it was in was dropped and went rolling down a full flight of stairs, AND when we got here we forgot to switch it over to 220 before we turned it on and BAM!!! sparks flew everywhere. AND IT STILL WORKS GREAT!!!!!! Viva la PC!!!! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We currently have 5 laptops running in the house, but will soon have 7 as DH and I just ordered our new XPS laptops earlier this week, and wouldn't you know it we got two rockin' laptops for just about $200 more than 1 Macbook Pro.

stripe Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I used to have a generic version of a Mac back when that was allowed! I want to love Macs but I no longer understand them. I also could only afford a PC when I bought my last computer. Do you really have to be anti-Mac to like your PC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Florida. Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 We are even more exclusive and are a Dell family. We are too. Each of us has a Dell laptop and loves it. We used to have an ancient Toshiba laptop, but dh gave it to FIL. It runs XP and works just fine for what FIL needs. Ds's laptop has had the screen replaced (he broke it), been dropped on the tile floor, and had the hard drive replaced (after he dropped it). It still works fine for him and does his gaming. Dh is thinking about getting me a new Dell laptop, giving mine to ds, and using ds' current one as the one we connect to the tv. He gets a company discount from both Apple and Dell, yet we consistently choose Dell. Our extended family (grown dss, niece who's like a daughter) are also PC families. I used to have Mac envy. When my Mac died I desperately wanted a new one. I went to PC's kicking and screaming. But once I used a PC, I fell in love, and will never go back to a Mac! I do love my iPhone though. :leaving: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need one like that. :) I think that's why, if computer folks were car people I'd picture the PC people standing around a souped up Camaro with their sleeves rolled up, hands covered in grease, talking enthusiastically about their car. I picture the Mac people on the side of the road with their Volvo placing a call to the AAA because they need someone to come out and change a flat tire. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catz Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Another PC lover here. We have 4 PCs running here at the moment. I can't imagine buying an apple desktop or laptop. No way! Both my husband and I have comp sci degrees (among others), and we would never switch. However, we now have 2 ipads at our house. If I could get a Ipad tool on a pc platform. However, I do love my ipad! It could be integrated more seamlessly with the PC world IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnthemLights Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I have my PC, my husband has his two - one for his business and one for his videography hobby. A few years ago we got Mac envy - wanted to know what all the hype was about. Bought a top of the line one, mailorder, gleefully opened the box, got it all set up and connected. It crashed twice in the first hour. Carpy computer or stupid operator? :confused: We sent it back, bought a PC instead and have never looked back. Our PC's are 100 percent reliable but both of us are very good with routine maintenance and we both have good virus protection skills. BTW, thanks for starting this thread....I was beginning to feel left out. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're gamers but for computer games we always buy out of the discount bin so we don't need an up-to-the-minute gaming beast: however, even the clearance games are getting to be too much for our newest computer, DH's laptop. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
