I call ad homonym. If you're going to attack Steve Jobs for whatever reason then you should take a good hard look at Bill Gates. But what do these men have to do with the actual product?

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

Don't Game Much, So I would Just Have To Learn The Mac Language If I Went That Route.

Get a Mac and put Windows 7 on it if you must.

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.

I Already Have a Dell Notebook, But I Like The Idea Of Having A "Permanent" All-in-one Desktop. I Also Need A Wireless Printer & Just Thought It Would Be Easier With Either An All-In-One PC Or Mac. Like I Said Before, I Can't Stand Wires & Cables Everywhere And I Think I Would Have That With A Noebook, Monitor, & Keyboard.

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.

Thanks, Andy! No Big Rush For Me.

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

Maybe My Problem Is My Old Computer. It's As Slow As Christmas & Always Freezes Up. It "Is" 8 Years Old, Though!

I have a PC and want a Mac real bad. I also own an iPhone.

oh god, not another one of these threads! LOL

A "Different" One, Jim!

OK, I Figure I Can Get The Smaller Screen Mac With Everything I Want For Around $1600. The Dual Processor All In One From HP Is Around $1600. Which One Is Faster For Every Day Tasks & Which Is Better For Doing Several Apps At Once? This Would Be Using Windows 7 Vs. Mac's OS. It Also Seems That Mac Has An Automatic Back Up For Your Data That Seems Really Useful For Someone Like Me Who Is "Computer Illiterate".

Greg read the other thread. You are not going to get an answer. People are going to argue for a week, you are going to get confused and it's going end up with everyone saying get what's right you for and you will end up not getting anything because you are so confused.

replicant_argent · 04-11-2010, 08:29 AM

or you could just bite the bullet and buy a Commodore 64.

Upgraded To The More expensive & Hopefully Better Video Card With 1 TB HD. Airport Express To Make My Old HP Printer Wireless. Went With The Standard 4MB RAM & Decided Not To Order Windows 7 At This Time. What Do You Have?
