Macintel or Mactel?

There are PPC Macs and Intel Macs... don't call them in any other way :D

Right from the start I have been calling it my Macintel, just seems right... I dont wanna call it an intel mac, because i should be getting a MBP soon.. (and then this baby will be demoted to a hackintosh hehe)

I think that If there is wintel, there should me mactel.

Mactel sounds like it's some kind of phone...

Macintel sounds like you forgot to push the spacebar...

Also, what sense does it make to put the adjective (Intel) after the noun (Mac)?

So, I prefer Intel-Mac.

Sorry don't agree with all choice... MacTel was an old Term software... so I prefer MACOSX86

Cheers!

ps:MacUniversal will be acceptable...

Do not call them either. Leave them as Narf and Blanka intended, as Xoms, most of the people that I know have already adopted this.

Velvet, those are just for people talking about dual booting. XOM seems to be like how most people use "OSx86." I'm asking about the actual computers.

lol - although I do like the MacUniversal idea since they're quickly becoming that...

I would perfer that the name be the same shared length. Mac and Tel are even. Mac Intel gives Intel their entire name in our nick name. Not fair to the all powerful Macintosh. Mactel is best....

I much prefer Macintel out of them all... It sounds just right, and sounds more like Macintosh...

My Intel Mac is not made by Apple, but the Motherboard and Processor is made by Intel.

The only thing Apple about my Intel Mac is it runs Tiger OS X 10.4.5 (Intel) and has two white Apple stickers on it. Since OS is not licensed by Apple, I don't feel comfortable calling dual boot machine Mactel or Macintel.

My Intel Mac underneath to me is more Intel than Mac. Only the software is Apple, not the physical hardware. I prefer calling this hardware an Intel Mac.

MacIntel. Greetings.

Macintel has a ring to it!

For me, Mactel sounds as ugly as MacBook Pro. I wish they would have chosen a better name than this.

I don't know what but just better then MBP. BTW, I voted for Macintel which sounds much better in my opinion.

After thinking about it, I'm going to change the title of the Dual Booting forum to "Mac Dual Booting." It's the lowest common denominator.

But it's great to hear what you call it! Keep it going!

I guesss Mac Dual Booting is also good.

How about 'Macintelsh'?

Mac Dual Booting, says what it is, and is there anything wrong with that? good choice.

MacIntel is the official search term at VersionTracker.com for unibins. f.y.i.

MacTel is going to be useful in future, after Apple starts it's phone service. yep, i betcha.

Call it an "Intac" For Intel Mac. It would be better as Mactel is confusing to all those who originally used it for PCS running OS x.

I believe the correct term is "Intel-based Mac".

If the snozberries taste like snozberries they are snozberries. they're macs damnit who cares what cpu is in them? Who goes to this forum for info about PPC macs anyways?

my unofficial intel mac will always be my hackintosh, due to the requirement of hacks to get it to work.

im going to buy a macbook (ibook replacement) as soon as they're available. what will i call it? why, my macbook of course.

i think mactel and macintel both sound dumb, but if i was forced to use one i'd choose the latter.

mac intel works for me

-MacX

InteliMac ?? perhaps??

That's not bad Zoran.

I'm kinda partial to "{censored} Child of the Orient" but thats both a little long and a little...uh...its not really oriental. But I'm partial to it! *runs away*
