Imac or PC - advice!

[GhostOfDixie]

Hate to burst your expensive bubble, but no its not.

A PC with better specs than the Imac is faster than the Imac.

Sorted that, right, off to work!

Can you prove that?

 

[Goat]

He doesnt need to, I agree, thats good enough for everyone else.

Apple sell weapons to the Kurds I heard.

Streaming movies mate, playing music, photo storage, a few sites/apps open at the same time, downloading music - wont be desiging or anything. What do you think?

Have had the girlfriend mac laptop the past few months and have to say its sleek and impressive - she hasnt used it in about 3 years (its about 4 years old) since she got her imac for design, but given the specs it does everthing and more quicker the my old Dell that allegidly had highe specs.

just keep her laptop then.

upload some pics from her docs.


people build pc's, do people also build macs ?

Apple do.

 

[Reidy's Bottle Of Grecian]

Apple do.

so can these guys who build pc's not build them using mac components ?

Well they probably can, but they would need to source the right components from Apple.

Never really bothered with building [Poor language removed]. Leave that for the proper geeks, that kind of crap is for those who wear braces and red checked shirts.

Yep, pretty much.

Anyway I think we need to end the debate here.

Apple is for people who can afford Apple and don't need to get a cheap computer to look at porn.

Anyone who thinks Apple machines are [Poor language removed] and are not basing it on price are daft. Go into the store in town and have a look at the machines and tell me they don't look slicker than George McFly's hair.

 

[Bundy]

Please don't encourage him.

 

[Lao]

Get an Apple, looks great, and one of your 5 a day, so you stay healthy too.

 

[Neiler]

Really?

A PC with better specs than an iMac is slower than the iMac. Well I never, can you spread the word?

So whats the deal with that mate honestly im surprised by it. What spec do you have on your Mac.

 

[Dylan]

Yep, pretty much.

Ghost, please GET off the high horse! If you wanna get down to the economics of it, I can more than afford an Apple.

More. Than. Afford.

I choose PC's as I like them. A sensible user has no problems with Windows. I have had Vista for a couple of years, my PC is on 24/7 (it gets rebooted every week or so) and it is still running great.

As for who builds iMacs....Apple builds them out of PC parts. That is a fact, and no amount of baawwing from the Appleites is going to change that.

I am not ignorant (as you profess me to be), I am not cheap (as you profess me to be) nor am I a fan-boy (as you are showing all the signs of). I pick the product that works for ME. Which is what Neiler should do.

Mate, if you covered everything you want in a computer already, a PC will more than do the job you want it to. Stay away from the low rep sights and torrents (hell, any p2p for that matter), keep your gf from installing everything under the sun and your PC will run just dandy. And you will have a lot of pocket change left from not buying Fruit.

Well I don't like Windows. I think its an awful piece of software. Things popping up all the time, install this, update that, do you want to install this toolbar, etc.... It never stops. Sometimes it will connect to wireless, and sometimes not.

It's not user friendly at all, it puts far too many options in the people who don't know what they are doing. It is bugged to hell, 3 Service packs, I mean come on?

But I choose Apple because the OS is better, the browser it comes with is the quickest, the applications I can use work for me.

But it is affordability with a lot of people, maybe not you or me, but little jimmy isn't going to get his folks to spend over a grand on a system when all he needs it for is surfing the net and writing assignments on.

The best web designers in the world use Apple. Musicians use Apple. The video software used in the industry Avid, is basically Apple.

I'm not saying your ignorant, I don't think I have directed anything at you in any malice at all mate.

I also asked Neiller what he wants the machine for. I don't recommend anyone buy an Apple if it's just for doing mundane tasks such as internet and email, even listening to Music and watching movies is fine on a PC.

It's the tools for the job isn't it?
