iMac

I've owned the last 3 gens of the iMac

Pros:
OSX is a great operating system with limited crashes and viruses (I've never had either occur in 8 years of owning iMacs)
Easy to set up and very limited compatibility issues
Works well with almost any 3rd party main hardware
All major business software is supported
Time Machine is a great feature

CONS:
Expensive compared to comparable Windows machine
Not a great gaming machine
I had 1 HD failure in 8 years and 1 Power supply failure in 8 years. (both were fixed under warranty and I had backup)

I'd recommend them. New gen 27" has had some issues so I'd google it to see if they are fixed

Thanks Shawn. The latest crash (all my PC's have eventually crashed) has me giving the Mac's a hard look. I like what I see. Thanks for your input.
