  • Mac vs PC: The Final Showdown


    Hunch.com released an unscientific study profiling the differences between 388,315 self described Mac and PC users. Their findings confirm what most of us already assumed: Mac users are city dwelling, liberal hipster socialites, with a penchant for the finer things in life like drinking Boylan’s Root Beer to wash down their hummus and vegetarian Shawarma while watching an episode of The Office, the funniest show on Television.

    PC users rather are suburb sitting, Harley Davidson riding engineers with an insatiable hunger for raw meat and McDonalds fries usually washed down by Orange Crush while watching a Law and Order: SVU marathon.

    Mac users tend to sip on a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon or a Vodka Gimlet while discussing modern art and how plain looking PC users are.

    PC users play “slap the bag” after pounding a Screaming Orgasm and confuse impressionist art with Frank Caliendo.

    Mac users prefer Wes Anderson.

    PC users prefer Michael Bay.

    Mac users are a vocal minority (10.8%).

    Microsoft has sold more Windows 7 licenses than there are people in the United States.

    Mac users will fix their own computers. Or die trying.

    PC users will ask their “Mac Friend” to fix theirs.

    In all seriousness it's almost as if Hunch.com made up these statistics and findings. Apple was on to something with their Mac vs. PC ad campaign. What we thought was humorous hyperbole turned out to be quite accurate. Head on over to Hunchblog to see the complete findings.

      I'm a Mac user but I relate more to being a PC user. So according to this poll I'm not being true to my self. I always knew I was a Hill Billy at heart.

      Really...

      Mac users will fix there macs or die trying while pc users ask there mac friends to fix it for them.

      You know how stupid that sounds am a pc user and I have 5 friends that own a Mac and each one of them comes to me so I can fix it for them when ever they have a problem with it.

      Go to an apple store and sit at the genius bar and count how many ppl walk in every day to get there macs serviced.
      Then go to a bestbuy and do the same at the geek squad area and compare the number of ppl walking in at both stores.
      PC users won't even come close to half of the ppl the walk in at the apple store.


      Don't get me wrong I love apple products to. Thinking of buying a 17" Mac book pro but after reading this I think ima just wait it out.

      Dual boot for the win, but they even use Windows in the factory where the iPhone is produced. PC win

      I don't agree with their survey. I own both (2) PC's & (2) Mac's. But i dont label myself for either.
      That was funny, Mac users would rather fix their own. I think that is what PC users do.
      I use windows 7 at work for business (Architect) and have tried a few times to do what I do with a PC on my MBP. There are just too many limitations for me on the OSX platform using Office2011, Autocad2011, Network drives, Acrobat X, ect to name a few, that it reminds me why I don't use macs for business. I use my Mac in my Studio and for recreation purposes.
      I think the survey should look at what platform the general public uses vs. the folks that can afford a Mac and update it once a year. I was at the apple store the other day speaking with an employee about some problems I'm having with Protools and as soon as I told her a wasn't using the latest Mac on the market (2009 MBP) she resorted to your computer is ancient and you must update to the newest Mac pro. Funny how Protools ran flawless on my windows xp machine for 6 years solid.
      I really think it boils down to how much money you have to blow on the latest technology, and the majority of people don't need a $2000 media player, they need a $500 PC that can get the job done.

      At least when you buy a mac you have a choice. I'm personally a PC user but those with mac's can install windows if they choose to. The only time I ever really wanted OSX was when PwnageTool ruled the jailbreaking world back in the 1.x - 2.x firmware days. Now with the multitude of jailbreaking tools being released across all OS' I'm perfectly happy with a PC.
