I’ve been assembling an repairing PC’s for well over 10 years and only last year switched to the dark side. I just want the record to be set straight.

I love how much less hassle it is. At this point in my life, the tinkering with a PC means much less to me. I just want to turn it on, browse the web, look at pretty pictures/videos and edit said pictures/videos. The Mac does it, and does it well.

FUcking hate taking apart macs, its like trying to balance on a line 1,000ft in the air while holding a Faberge egg from a spoon in your mouth

I nearly shit myself the first time I took one of the newer imacs apart and the magnet grabbed the glass as i was putting it back together, all I kept thinking was well if this fucker breaks its probably cheaper to go buy a new dell then to replace the glass :rofl
