Depends how you look at it. For gaming Macs aren't a helluva lot more fun to use. And for the same amount of money any mac sells for you can get a pc with much better internal specs.

I have an imac that was a Christmas gift. It's a nice computer, I like OSX more than windows, but it still isn't my favorite machine or OS. I wouldn't go out and buy one myself honestly.

I think that it comes down more so to personal taste and what one's definition of fun is.

I was more speaking to the "why go out and spend a ton on a pc" question then the mac vs pc question

online with apples cs now...have to say I'm a fan so far
[Reply]

macs are for LOSERS!

ok just kidding, I enjoy my cousins, but I'm too ingrained in my PC
[Reply]

I had an apple 2e back in the early 80's...now I have a 13" Powerbook G4 and a 20" Imac desktop with the duo Intel processors. I love my Macs!!
[Reply]

don't know much about refurbished macs, but as far as using bootcamp for osx/xp I have it setup on mine and it works well. I rarely use XP...but it is there for me just in case
[Reply]

Same here, If I don't use it unless it is something Mac does not support
[Reply]

mhm. I think in the past 6 months I've used it once because I had a word document I couldn't get to open in word on the mac. I know there is a way I could have gotten it to, but it was late at night and I didn't feel like messing around so just switched over and printed....then started having withdrawals and switched back to osx :-) lol

I was thinking about using XP on my iBook, but it did not make any sense for me to do it. I know it is popular with college students, they can have all their apple needs together and XP for school.

is Iwork worth the money?
[Reply]

Try the demo after you get your mac, it can be had on apples site. I didn't think it was all that hot personally. Neo Office works fine for me!
[Reply]

You'd know if you need it more then we do, not to come off rude though.

I need it and use it daily.
[Reply]

Ditto on the Demo.

You can try OpenOffice too.
[Reply]

Yep, forgot about OO. I use it on all my other PCs, haven't actually tried the Mac Aqua version yet.
[Reply]

Yea I saw that; base price is $1.8K though, and $150 for that upgrade, when the card is only $120 from Newegg. You can get a system of greater specs, including OSX and a 24" monitor for under $1K still.

Guess I'm just not cool enough to see the value of Macs :-)
[Reply]

You are not worthy!
[Reply]

Have you ever tried installing OSX on a pc? It's freaking painful!
[Reply]

got my order placed:
2 macbooks
1 copy of vmware
family copy of iwork

and a Advanced Tactical Briefcase - Custom Version by blackhawk not bad for a nights work
[Reply]

It's not bad at all really.

I have both OO and Iwork.. I like having something for if I'm lending my lap top to a class mate for a project real quick, happens often.
