Mac Or PC

jaydub13 · 04-10-2010, 04:56 AM

Well a Mac certainly fits the bill, but they sure are pricey... I would have gone with one for my notebook, but I went HP, and am quite happy with it. Price was the main reason for that. I really don't have anything bad to say about Mac. They are clean, easy to use, streamlined computers. BUT, for half the cost, you can get a very nice PC, with equal or better performance. I say go PC and spend the difference on cigars!

Jason: Does HP Have One That's All In One & Basically Cordless? Is Windows 7 Much Better Than Windows XP?
Thanks!

Hey Greg. My first choice would be a Mac.
But my Father-in-Law was just in the market for a new PC, with similar needs as yours.

He bought this. It seems to have gotten decent reviews on Cnet and Amazon.
He likes it. he has mounted to the back of his monitor, but also with an HDMI to his Flat screen tv. comes with cordless mouse/keyboard Major downside is no optical drive.

It does have a built in wireless, so it will hook up to your home wi fi. basically the only cords you would need are for the power and the monitor.
