Mac vs PC Drop Test | WIRED’s Battle Damage 

+Mongocom I tend to agree. Every platform has its strengths, so why make a big deal out of it? It mattered more when OSes were less interoperable (much more proprietary about their standards and hardware support) and home PCs were less affordable, forcing many to choose one over all the others to own and use. Those days are passed now - use 'em all!

+TheGEEKmen90s yay so im not alone.... The secret use of the multi os is true? I taught i were the only one "neutral "

+Mongocom so true

+Mongocom same except i dont have any macs but i would use one

+A Toyota Prius actually i have an old mac from 2009, i remember when apple has nvidia dedicated gpu, wich mine has, now it isnt really a mac anymore cause i upgradet it so much, the only thing that is original now is the case and the os... Its capable of running gta 5 on high settings, now the newer macs have this crappy intel gpus, wich sucks, kinda

Awesome Aiden LOL !

NoobMasterGaming I'm sorry for my comment...

you are forgetting Xbox one x

Ha! Great idea!

Chris AngryNerd Baker what??

That was during the second test after he thought it won.

lol

Linux sucks

+Finn Colville ... Explain yourself...

+Chinese Guy I haven't done enough testing personally (I don't have enough laptops or cash, to smash those things lol) I just think he just started with a biased against the surface "laptop" and had a desired outcome. (the guy that shook the surface) so you are much more likely to have that outcome.

+Finn Colville Because you lack the intellect to use it... Let me guess you think high level mathematics suck too?

Hey man! We are indeed --- Season 2 is ... well ... totally freaking insane :) Thanks for watching, we love that you're a fan!

Experimentboy Oh MY FUCKIN' GODNESS ! x) Loving You Experimentboy ! :P

Experimentboy hh

Putain t'es la

PLAYCRAFT Lol xp oui il est la

Also the surface area of the Mac dispersed the damage onto the floor as well as evenly across the laptop The triangle stand put all force on the notebook, notice how the "broken" part is where the screen landed initially

So, the Mac is designed better.

The Mac is a laptop so OF COURSE it was designed better. The Surface is a tablet and not designed better

It is fair it's just microsofts fault that they didn't predict the future and make it lighter and more rolley if that's even a word

Tablets are in general less durable. And the spinning wheel had a smooth and round shape so the forces were more evenly distributed and it rolled off. The blue screen monitor had that good stand that localized the forces and kept it there with some high amplitude vibrations. They would have needed to use an iPad and dropped similarly shaped objects to make it a valid test.

You are saying that just 'cause the mac won...-.-

Gamevolution ITA wasn't quite fair due to the location of the motherboard, but results are still results. I'll take their word for it rather than test it myself

If Microsoft wants to try to market their Surface tablet for a laptop, it should be tested against laptops. Even their own commercial compares it to the Macbook Air.

graytlo The Surface is indeed a tablet, but it's a laptop as well, or hybrid at least. The OS on the Surface is what makes it's competitors other laptops, not other tablets, not to mention it's rather large for a tablet too, so structure wise, it should be equal to that of a MacBook Air, considering the MacBook Air is the smallest (well at the time of this video release) laptop Apple makes, making both fair and equal contenders for this test. Testing a Surface to an iPad would in fact be a very unfair test as the Surface is larger and would have a thicker and stronger internal structure to prevent damages versus a lightweight and rather small/thin iPad. Furthermore, how is this a shocker to you? People complain Macs are overpriced for same specs, when in actuality, the prices are very reasonable. Yes, you can build a PC more often then not with higher specs than a Mac for less cash, but between that PC and the Mac, which will last longer? Which is more reliable? Once that custom PC breaks, you have to repair it on your own, no warranty there. The Mac on the other hand, if it breaks, and a big emphasis on the IF, you have a pretty damn good warranty to cover it. However, that is IF the Mac breaks. I've been a Apple user for years, I even have laptops from 2007 and it works wonderfully still. Whole reason I bought newers Macs was because I knew I can rely on them. They have never crashed or had any corruption, speed was obvious decline as that happens to all computers. However, I can still turn on my 2007 MacBook and still use it today with no issues. As for a PC, you have to take extreme care of it, any slip up means instant trip to local electronic store for maintenance. Hell, I haven't even seen a PC last for more than 2 years without faulting in some way or another. So price wise, yes, you can go cheap with a PC, same power for less money, and if it breaks, buy another cheap PC to replace and hope your saved data can be transferred. That or you can spend a little extra the first time around, get a reliable computer that most likely will not break on you and know all your saved data will be safe. As far as gaming goes as well, yes, Macs use different graphic cards that aren't suited to gaming, however, the power that Macs have today can run games so easily that it's not even an issue. I use a late 2012 iMac maxed out and I can run BF4 on max graphical settings with no issue to my frame rate. Best part about it is it feels like it's running as fast as the day I bought it. So to all the Mac haters out there, I cannot argue specs vs a PC, especially for gaming. All I can do is say what a Mac can do that makes anything better spec wise quite useless. Bottom line, I'll take quality over quantity any day, and Macs are definitely higher quality.

Well I don't really care what the value of it to others would be most likely keeping this computer even if it stops working

Matthew H i really dont understand why you feel that its necessary to start insulting me over something that isnt really even a big deal. as for being easily attached to objects thats a very common thing many people have (for example people who keep their grandparents' watch/lighter/pocket knife/random things like that) no, i am not a hoarder. the only things that have sentimental value to me are my laptop, a few items from my family members, and a few toys from my childhood. the rest of my stuff as long as it remains useful or there is some value behind it i will keep, but if there is no use then i get rid of it. long time since iv seen that one. the only furry artwork i have on my computer is drawn by me and is not pornographic (unless someone hugging their boy friend, or someone riding on top of a tank is pornographic) also why the hell would i even need anything like that? i'd much rather spend time with my boy friend, not sitting alone looking at porn (no offense to anyone who does)

Matthew H i still dont understand why you are being so hostile. the only thing you seem to do is reply with insulting comments. yes a laptop is valuable to me, thats just one small object that iv enjoyed for a long time, and enjoy the memories of what iv done on it. Is it really worth your time to be arguing with someone over something that they enjoy? you can dislike what i enjoy but do you really have to go out of your way to attack that person...

name whatever the note can do more that the macbook...

mitchell2820 Run Solidworks 3D and Simulation CAD software natively. Software I depend on for work...

mitchell2820 Touchscreen, more open OS, choice, more native apps

2987ms i have all the apps i need on a macbook pro, i find the air ugly to but i have software on my mac that u need for work, only big difference is gaming that's al, and well if you want touchscreen don't buy a laptop but a fucking tab

Funny how you completely neglect my comment, yet you jump all over him. Where's Solidworks for a Mac? My $800 HP Windows laptop, with a touchscreen, does more than your $2k MacBook Pro does, for production purposes AND gaming purposes. Show me a MacBook that you can do Mechanical and Electrical work on during the day, then turn around and game on at night, then we'll talk. To say nothing of one that costs under a grand...

Two

You're right also the Mac is made of aluminum and the surface is plastic so Steve Jobs made a tough computer

Me 3

You spelled two wrong

And a tablet is not a fucking PC. They should have use a laptop instead

Kernel panic is boring. Sad Mac maybe.

Sad Mac makes me happy

Macs are made for retards and homosexuals. Window is much faster and more innovations.

Kera C but windows always crashes

Kera C and gets viruses, and can't run both systems, and most designs are shit, and ugly screens, and loses his value faster than any apple computer

mitchell2820 1. Not if you know what your doing 2.Yes, yes it can 3.Uh, that's preference but OK 4. Ugly screens? Enjoy your 900p display on your macbook 5.Looses its value quicker? That depends. iluvyurbles I have never had windows crash except for when I played a really buggy unfinished game or over clocked too high. (On my current system)

How about you idiots stop criticizing people with different computer preferences. Is it really that big of a deal?

A good summary of Battle Damage :) Impractical ... but cool at 1000fps.

The Indie Machines true. :)

But it's fun!

Well, sometimes. It never stops being amazing

How

lol

jo l the campaign was to show how it can function as a laptop software-wise with the keyboard extension, but even Microsoft said its meant to be a full laptop inside a tablet form factor, so I could see how you could make your argument in a software comparison stand point but hardware wise, its still a tablet.

Mac is not better then pc at all. Anyone familiar with computers can tell you.

i'm taking about durability

CoolDrify by making a shitty comment like that, you have just successfully proven that you don't know jackshit about computers

Michls I think you need to calm down buddy. You don't know anything about me, so how can you possible know? I could literally make up anything on the spot about my experience with computers, and hope you'll believe it but I'll tell you the straight truth. I've built over 4 computers, am in AP computer science at my school, and my cousin with whom I talk to almost daily with is majoring in computer engineering. I dedicate entire portions of my life to learning about computers, and I stand by what I've said. PC's can be infinitely more complex, and manipulatable than Mac's, because Macs have a set design criteria. It's as simple as that.

Hey CoolDrify , so I've read your comment, and I guess you are awaiting for my reply so here goes, I may have misjudged you, and I apologise, I thought you were one of those lets say "9 year old kids" who don't know anything about technology and the only thing they think a computer is for is games, which your response clearly says that you are not!! From what you wrote initially, I thought that you said that "a mac was inferior than a pc" which that is something I totally disagree with, I use the two systems and I understand their history and their purpose, and I find them equally important, therefor none of them is better than each other, I don't know if that applies same to your opinion, but I just thought that I should share that being that you have shared a bit of information on what you are studying and what you are dedicating your life on, again I was so sorry for swearing at you, I sometimes just lose my temper when kids keep commenting on mac vs pc's videos saying that macs suck because macs can't game or whatever....

+ryanpaycheck True.

pc can run mac os

Quan Pham Yes, it is called Hackintosh.

+ryanpaycheck But not officially. I don't even know if it's legal.

+ryanpaycheck Not any PC is compatible with OSX. Even for the ones that do, it's sometimes difficult to get it working (or should I say it's always always hard).

+Garrett Calkins Because fuck you. Thats why

+Joel Carrillo that is so true but i use both mac and pc i think mac is better it runs a bit smoother but i have a pc for gaming

+epsypolym PC - Gaming or useless shit like viruses and adware that ruins gaming because of the memory limitations for a certain processor. Linux - What ever the fuck they do. Mac - iMovie, GarageBand, iTunes, PhotoBooth and $1,000,000 movies that are made with Final Cut Pro X, oh yeah also the simple layout of OS X, oh my god how did I forget speed.

Linux home systems ARE PCs

2987ms Linux is an OS, meaning it can be booted off any computer. (Mac's can run Windows OS, PC's can run Mac OS, both can run Linux).

Charles Halo Yes, I understand that. I also understand that macs are PCs too.

And u cant a laptop vs a tablet. U should have done surface vs ipad no cover/keyboard

Beaztboyzgotz Nottin cant *do a laptop

Is should be WTF

Average Minecraft iSheep. PC is superior in every way.

+Harrison Blatt Mac IS PC.

+LogoBro Productions Sure, a Macbook Pro vs a Windows tablet.

no bro mac all the way

Harrison Blatt give me one thing macs can do that PC can't

Exactly Dx

say it down here

mac

+GAME CREW!!! pc

+GAME CREW!!! Pc ALL THE WAY

MAC #MACWORLDTODAY
