^ I mean, it doesn't seem like you really need it when you already have a perfectly good PC. Doesn't look like you can shed quite an amount of money for one either, so you pretty much answered your own question.

Hey guys, need a little help.
Is there a way to sync my iphone to a new computer? The new computer is going to be my primary one for a while, but I want to be able to sync my iphone and add music, etc via the new computer. How would I go about doing this without losing everything?

My question:
I am going to need to upgrade to a new computer by probably next fall and I am looking at all my options, Macs and PCs alike. Can you guys provide me functional reasons for why I should purchase an MPB. !$% like "It just works" and "It's just better" aren't anything without good reasons behind them. If "it just works" explain to me why it just works and why I should spend a pretty significant amount of $$ for a MPB when I can get comparable machines for less.
I'm not here to argue or flame, just want some real, practical answers and reasons why you gentlemen (and ladies) own Macs.
Thanks in advance.
I've been following that thread and maybe I'll just copy and paste my question there, but I was hoping to get somewhat of an in-depth response.Originally Posted by quik1987

For me it's the "it just works" argument that sold me on macs. When people say I that I think it refers mostly to the synergy between the hardware and software. With windows machines you have an infinite amount of configurations of hardware and drivers have to written for every one of those devices. Not only so they work properly but also so that they don't conflict with other devices. On the mac side you have a tightly controlled system so the number of challenges is reduced greatly. The hardware isn't any better and with windows 7 I think the OS' are almost on par. So when people say "it just works" and comment on the user experience I feel they are talking about this synergy. It's the same with the iOS devices. Just to clarify I'm very computer literate. I was building machines back in the windows 3.1 days. I made the switch partly because apple made the move to intel chips and also my work in the audio field got more computer intensive so a mac was somewhat of a necessity.Originally Posted by dr funk 13

You need to migrate your original iTunes Library from your old CPU to your Mac. You could do that through home sharing or copy your original iTunes music folder and replacing the folder on your new CPU. That's the only way to sync your phone to your new CPU with the same data.Originally Posted by kamakazipnoygt
