Just wanted to get some general opinions on macs

.

Macs don't impress me because they're so expensive, and seem to me to be more "style" than substance.
Style impresses me not at all, I prefer more functional-looking things to flashier ones so Macs immediately get a minus score there, as does the Mac OS.
I can't say I have extensive experience with them which is why I'm indifferent.
I wouldn't have one myself, but I'm not a rabid Apple hater.

I'm indifferent to them. Mac OSX is a stable OS and can be very useful.
But if you made the poll about Mac users, I would have a different opinion.

Pretty much the same as Calum.

Just like Vista, I don't care about it's graphics and effects, I just want it to work.

There is also software compatibility issues.

Epic waste of money.... buy a PC for half the price of a mac with the same specs, plus you get to play games. I saw this hillarious pic on the internet some time ago, linux was an AK-47, windows was a desert eagle, and mac was something inappropriate *cough* and it said choose your weapon.

Actually, some test show that windows xp runs better on a mac than a pc.

Ahh yes, I know exactly what you mean. They can be completely wrong, but still insist on being right about something, or make some lame excuse.

Actually, come to think of it, a Mac is really just an overpowered version of those little play laptops that used to be popular when I was a kid.
