i have had macbook pro's, imac's. Much prefer mac's over PC's.

I have also had iphone for the past few years, however, I fancy a change. I have a Galaxy S3 on its way :)

The speech on the iphone 5 maps is rubbish

Theres no space between words so when it meant to say jct 5 A249 for example it says jct 5249. I did see a letter on there site about the maps so hopefully this will all be sorted quickly. Also does the maps use data from your usage plan?

I am a long-term Apple fan. My main computer at home has been an Apple for 25 years (various versions), back to the days of the Mac Classic with the diddy b&w screen and up through the iMac generation from the first rounded one with a Sage green shell. Currently have a 25" iMac about 4 years old which came from the Refurb store. My last 3 Macs have come from there and I've had no bother with any of them. I'm in a mood to upgrade it again sometime soon, but am currently considering upgrading just the hard drive to SSD. If the increase in performance is as good as people say it is, then a couple of hundred quid on a new drive is a much better proposition than over a grand on a new machine.

What do I love about them? They are robust, reliable, trouble free and intuitive. The thing that I detest about Windows (not wanting to bitch about them, just highlighting a massive area where Macs are better) is the software updates. They are incessant, cumbersome and just grind the machine virtually to a halt every couple of days. Of course Macs have to update as well, but they just do it quietly and serenely in the background with only a very occasional restart required, and when it does happen, it's all done and dusted within 3 minutes. A similar update from Microsoft usually takes up to an hour to complete - Windows is Updating 1 of 39 updates, please do not turn off........ Argh!

My wife and children all use my Mac at home and they all find it easy to use as well.

I've never owned an iPhone or an iPad for a couple of sensible reasons - phone because I only ever have a work phone and have to have whatever they give me (usually a Blackberry), and iPad because the only place I'd ever really use it would be at home, and I have an iMac there, so what's the point? I do have a couple of Windows 7 laptops about the house for alternative use, and have to say that Windows 7 isn't all that bad compared with previous versions of the OS, apart from the bleedin' updates. I am a recent convert to the iPod Nano after I got a new car a few months ago which had a connection, which was a lot easier to handle than a bag full of CDs, but have never used it in my ears with headphones, just in the car.

That's about it for me.

if you want to be a nerd and screw about with stuff, get an android phone. If you want something that's intuitive and tends to just work, go Apple :)[/QUOTE]

And if you want to make a phone call get a Nokia 6021

Applemac v PC - Apple for sure

IPhone v Galaxy S3 - Sorry to say but the Samsung is better by far

[p4ddy]

My mate has an Apple computer & i must say it's in a class of it's own. I would never want to pay Apple prices though

[sparts]

It all depends on what you use your PC or Mac for.I personally think the PC is better because I use it for gaming and it is far easier to upgrade if needed.I believe the Mac is better for video editing etc.
