Most people have already covered the definition of a Macintosh pretty well, but I'd like to add a little. If you've read other definitions, you'd see that everyone says macs are useless unless you're a graphic designer or film editor. MAYBE that is the industry standard to some degree, but I've been a graphic designer for long enough to disagree that macs are best for my profession. They do get the job done, and well enough at that, but I'd much prefer using a PC for the following reasons: 1) The hardware of PCs is far more customizable. Not only that, but you can put MUCH better parts in a PC for cheaper, and if you want to upgrade at some point down the road, you can do so for much cheaper. 2) Taking into consideration what I said in number one, I can do things faster on a PC. Naturally, with better parts, your computer speed WILL be faster. 3) Versatility. If I need to do more than just a design, I don't have to jump over to a PC to do it. You can just do it all on the same computer. All of this being said, I am not a "stupid mac-hater" or anything like that. In fact, I've used macs for designing just as much as PCs probably. But, because of the superiority of a PC, the only reason I'll ever own a mac is so that when I'm dealing with customers or fellow designers I can use mac fonts for those who don't know how to save properly. I'd also like to add this: sure, macintosh puts out attractive products, but because of the flexibility of the hardware you can buy for a PC, you can have a product that is MORE attractive and actually fits your own personality, rather than the personality of Apple Computers.
