Apple or not Apple?

I wouldn't use an Apple product if you gave one to me for free.

You're throwing money away. The hardware is overpriced and no better than a quality PC.

I am going for the iMac 27-inch: 3.1GHz....now you tell me why i should click that button.

And...can i connect and additional screen to the Mac?

Buy Apple stock to make money but buy a PC to use for work.

If you want osx, buy a mac. If you don't, don't.

That's all there is on the matter really.

But I'm sure that won't stop the loonies arguing for 5 pages about it.

They sure do look pretty.....

I wanted to get me a tablet, but I need a fucking keyboard. So I bought me this...

It's a tablet with a full keyboard that acts like a laptop. Perfect.

I don't like all in one products. I like piecing out my systems so that they meet my needs, not overall needs while getting socked extra money for it.

They do make sexy products though, no doubt.

People complain about needing to replace PCs often. Right now I'm running on a four year model and a two and a half year model. Both still running fine, I notice some lagging issues with the four year model but not a big deal. And honestly, I don't mind buying a computer every two years anyway. I figure it's part of the trade.

I had the opposite experience. I had to keep running back to my windows machine to get things done. Once Windows 7 came out I stopped trying to like Mac. It just wasn't working out.

I hear this often but I don't really understand it.

What exactly makes you more productive?

I'm also a week away from my imac27" i7/16gb ram/2tb+ssd/2GB graphics system.

Plus you can run windows on it if you have too. Mostly I need it for my ipad/iphone apps developement and 3D renders (cinema4d) for local council animation projects. Animation is so slow on a P4 (PC).

You were trying to do animation on a P4?

Don't blame old hardware.
