Runnriottt Posted February 19, 2010 Author Report Posted February 19, 2010 (edited) Oh.. I found that the Mac community has a little "green Issue" as well. Break a mac = pay out the nose. That is why I have never bought an Xbox. Garbage. I used to think that with the Mac. However... The new Imac I scored was busted. The screen was toast. I did some searching.. broke into this thing and found the part... a 20 inch LCD mind you... on the bay for 50 bucks shipped. Thing I notice that so few want to hack into the mac that the prices to repair it can be quite cheap. Many (like myself) scrap em and just buy it again. Dell is crud. US Military loves em. I was a hard core fan of building. I still think that a budget comp can be built smokin' newer games for less than 700. Thing I dont miss.... Windows. Updating Drivers. Multiple drivers on install and refreshes. Windows. Windows. XP was it for me. Vista is horrid, 7 is warmed over vista. OSX just works. I dont game much... so dont need it. I am impressed with the function of the Mac. Integration? Mac is a small community. Windows runs the world. So, that sucks a tad. I have to mess with format on my school work and such.. but its doable. It has also been a learning curve. The mouse was the steepest. I love the new touch mouse though. I still have an XP machine for my engraver.. and ill keep my unused disks of XP for a long time it seems. Personal PCs now are Mac... It just works. *edit* Aww man.. now you all can see how many times I correct spelling and crud... I have an edit total. Edited February 19, 2010 by Runnriottt Quote
synaptyx Posted February 19, 2010 Report Posted February 19, 2010 I was this close: || to buying an iMac, but everything I do flows back to windows servers and networks and my clients on Windows, so I had to buy a new Win7 PC. I got a Dell Precision T3500 Workstation. Spec: Intel Xeon 2.66GHz Quad Core 6GB RAM Dual 512MB Quadro Nvidia FX580 Win 7 Ultimate 64Bit 500GB HDD I got way, way more machine for my money, but way, way less style, loveliness and sophistication.

Debater2nd[TK] Posted February 19, 2010 Report Posted February 19, 2010 The one thing I'll add to this is that for anyone who does get a Mac, just keep up the Applecare warrenty...it covers just about everything, and Apple is very good about supporting it in their stores and remotely. Quote
Murray1134[501st] Posted February 20, 2010 Report Posted February 20, 2010 Don't forget it is possible to run a version of Windows on a Mac for those programs that don't support Mac normally. Quote
