This is historical data and not based on sales, but actual houses, sales dont' mean anything if it's the same people buying 'updated' products year after year as Apple likes to do. Clearly, saying that apple market penetration is 'steadily growing' and 'on the rise' is grossly overstating it (~3% in the last 5 years). They may be SELLING more "devices", but it's mostly to the same people that already have them. A tablet != computer. It's not that macs, in and of themselves are any weaker than a comparable PC. It's the company that's always been killing mac sales. And no, they arn't gaming systems. Yes there are some games that run on them, but seriously, the PS Vita has more titles.... (especially if we aren't talking about 'casual' games).
It's not an Apple but it costs a bunch! It's also unique in the market right now.
The Razer Edge Pro (here's a review by CNET, and so is the below picture of it)
I'm thinking about getting one, it should play Defiance and most other games just fine!

My forum handle "Skeety" was selected to associate with an internationally respected sport. Flying Arkfall bugs are even more fun!
*Pretentious ****** alert* I do Doctor things. *Alert over* I actually never said a PC couldn't do my 'professional' things. It was a little joke from another thread where people seem to assume PC/Windows users are 'gamers' and Mac/OSX users are 'professionals'. I'm not saying I agree or disagree, but most small business owners I know, and I know a lot, use Mac/OSX. Maybe we're all too simple to use Windows?
Reguardless of your market percentage, Apple is not doing much to help. Windows is a software that can be installed on almost any machine. The Apple os can only be installed on a Mac.
This allows me to get a laptop for 300$ and build a Desktop with third party parts, not made by Microsoft for 800$ as opposed to the price i would have payed for a single Mac, which is only sold by Apple.
I am not saying Mac is worse then PC, I have never owned one, Im just saying this is the reason why more people have Windows then Apple.
I'm kind of jumping into this thread with blinders on, but last I checked Windows OS accounts for about 85% of all installed OS's world-wide. I always find that stat interesting when people ask why game company XYZ hasn't made a linux or mac version of software ABC.
Actually I installed OSX snow leopard or something like that on a PC I built for a friend of mine. With the right skills OSX can run on any computer hardware. But I still prefer windows 8 and have never used OSX besides in the early 90's I had an Apple 2.

My girlfriend used to only have an Apple but she met me and I'm like, "Yo, get a gaming PC." She got a gaming desktop. Five months later... she's selling her MacBook Pro for a Asus G55 gaming laptop.~
I mean, I'm not resentful of MAC's but I think we'd have a better chance of seeing it on Linux over MAC. It'd be nice to get it on MAC though (I know a few people who still use it) seeing how it'd increase player base but mehhh :/ Still, I think linux is still more likely.
Oh, I did not know you could do that.
Yep, just google Hackintosh. Or here's a good guide: http://www.redmondpie.com/how-to-ins...a-pc-tutorial/ Or something I did was installed it on VMware or Vitualbox
