Ok let me get this straight. You are saying that you don't want the Mac vs PC article to appear in the PC-Format mag but you would like some benchmarks from PC-Format's side. Are you just confusing yourself. Obviously you want the article in the mag. Then you have what you asked for.Synthesis wrote:Benchmark / Comparison of PC vs Mac: YES PLEASE!
Mac content in PCF now or in the future: NO! Leave it for the Mac specific mags.
For some info on Windows 7 vs Mac OS X Snow Leopard: These articles are pretty old.
No benchmarking info here, just a feature comparison. Looking forward to benchmarks though.

Re: Mac in the Format?
An Apple Macintosh is a personal computer (PC) too, so technically there is no reason why there shouldn't be Mac articles in the magazines anyway...

GreyWolf, I tried to make that point and was informed it was not a PC

Look, I am not a Mac fan, and am constantly at war with Mac lovers, but I agree with you. Pay no attention to the squirrel. He is mad with rabiesamericantsm1 wrote:GreyWolf, I tried to make that point and was informed it was not a PC

Re: Mac in the Format?
Can anyone of the mac haters provide a solid reason why mac's should not be in pcf.
Arguing about the definition of a pc is retarded as the term pc dates from the the days of ibm, 8086's and dos.
A smartphone is more powerful, so why is it not a pc?!
pcf's job is to showcase whats available to the public and provide an opinion on what, who should get for what purpose. Is this not the point of a review? Based on this premise, mac's should be included regardless of whether they can run windows or have x86 architecture. Otherwise pcf should also leave out the smartphones and linux!

Re: Mac in the Format?
it should be pointed out, at this juncture, that most of the "PC is not a MAC" noise stems from the MAC camp, partly due to the general level of intelligence to be found there, (marketing victims), but mostly as a result of their inability to reconcile the cost of MAC hardware with the relatively cheaper, and better performing, PC hardware... (while this is entirely personal opinion, i have yet to meet someone capable of challenging it in any meaningful way)..Prime wrote:Can anyone of the mac haters provide a solid reason why mac's should not be in pcf.
for my part, i honestly don't think the average PC user would get much benefit from a MAC OS vs PC OS bench, especially if some or all of the hardware is mac-specific... one crash and suddenly we have the reviewer bleating about mac's superior stability, which is clearly utter tripe in the face of the range of drivers supported under windows vs that in mac OS... :/
secondly, (and very much like linux), given that MAC software tends to be very focused, wherein lies the interest of the average pc user?...

linux and mac are both based on unix. My argument was that a pc should not be defined as something that runs windows.Firestrm wrote:and why? Linux is part of PC culture my pessimistic friend....Prime wrote:Otherwise pcf should also leave out the smartphones and linux!
