Re: Mac Or PC
If you game then I'd say PC or have the dough to get a Mac Pro. Heavy gaming on an Imac 24" at least the last generation creates to much heat and will in some cases fry the vid card. My wifes died after 16 months and like a dummy I didn't get Apple care. She ended up with a 2,000 dollar paper weight. Fixing would of been in excess of 500 bucks(if that works,some cases the mb needs replacing) for a vid card that has street value of less than 50 bucks. The problem was the vid card was soldered in so that's beyond my capability. Needless to say she's back to pc mainly because this issue on the windows platform costs me whatever the best vid card that the mb could tolerate. I have to say I like Windows 7. I personally use a Macbook pro and also have a Macbook that I take if we travel. I think the the Imac is a very good machine but I wouldn't get another without Applecare. This is merely my opinion and mine alone. Your mileage may vary.

Re: Mac Or PC
I use both. Both have a place in my heart and work space. Macs are easier. Pcs are good for gaming.
Do you game? If not consider the Mac |
Re: Mac Or PC
Get a Mac and put Windows 7 on it if you must. :jd

Re: Mac Or PC
I don't know why people say macs are so easy to use. Windows is much more intuitive for me. We used macs forever at work and I was so happy two years ago when we finally switched to PC. I'm happy to say I'll never have to use a mac again. But then again, ymmv.
But my main question is why a desktop? Get a notebook, monitor and keyboard. That way if you need to take it with you, or want to do some work out of the office in the park with a smoke, you just go do that. You can pick up a keyboard for next to nothing, and if you get a generation old monitor, that will work fine and cost almost nothing too. |

Not a big Mac user here, but I've never been let down by a PC since Windows 3.0. Whatever you decide, make sure of it, Greg.

PC all the way Greg! Mac's are way overated and not to mention over priced. Apple is just a marketing genius.

Re: Mac Or PC
Cello on or off?
I am an Apple idiot for a lack of a better word based on some of the anti Apple comments on this board. I own an iPhone I own TWO iPods I own an iPod Touch First Gen (for my grandson's use) I own a MacBook I own an Airport Extreme wireless router I buy my music from iTunes I can't wait for the next iPhone to come out this summer I am thinking of buying an iPad Yeah, that Steve Jobs is an idiot who makes dumb crap that gets intelligent people who run major companies, who earn six figures, to act like idiots and just buy all his crap that doesn't work. I guess I do it it because I haven't figured out yet how to break the spell. Of course, it has absolutely nothing to do with what I perceive to be quality and joy of use. Nope. Nothing to do with that at all.:rolleyes: BTW, I was doing some reading earlier and stumbled on a thing that as an Apple user I am not familiar with. Can someone explain what "Anti Virus Software" means? Why would I spend $50 annually on this? Seems it is only for PC's and am concerned it is not for my MacBook.:rolleyes: Thanks. |

It's a nice computer, but I prefer using my pc dual booting Win7/whatever open source OS i'm feeling at the time :) |
Re: Mac Or PC

You know what is one of the only few things worth my while to wake up with pains all over my body every morning due to breaking 50 and literally "breaking"? I get to see things repeatedly. In the 60's/70's/80's, when I was the age of many on this board, the argument wasn't over Apple v. PC. It was over things like Caddy or Lincoln. My dad owned a Lincoln. His neighbor owned a Caddy. Neither one could believe the other could possibly be better. When you hear the arguments over Mac v. PC, you swear you are hearing it over a Caddy v. a Lincoln all over again. I guess if I make it to 90, I will look back at this one and chuckle when I hear what that one will be.:D |
