Apple vs. PC

I’m glad I made this thread. Good shit.

It really seems like a wash when you talk about which will run the Traktor software better… both machines will run it just fine. The decision is going to lie in what you are looking for in a computer besides traktor scratch.

One thing I will throw out there that noone has mentioned, is that apple laptops hold their value substantially well, where PC laptops generally do not. If i would have purchased an apple instead of my Dell laptop 2 years ago, I would be able to sell it for probably 3+ times more than the dell, at least.

Good point, and probably the reason why I will end up with a PC laptop to save a few bucks. (assuming that it is, in fact cheaper) As I mentioned before, this laptop will do absolutely nothing else besides store a lot of music, and run this DJ program. That’s it. The DVD drive and wireless will be disabled, and the OS will be trimmed down to run as lean as possible. There is actually an optimization procedure that the program has yo udo when you install it that disables a lot of the crap that would usually run in the background. So really, I don’t think I benefit at all from having a Macbook in this instance.

Anyone know a good site where I can compare an Apple laptop vs an equally equipped PC lappy? I’m just curious how two machines of equal hardware actually compare in price right now.
