[Fallacious Ultimatum]

I just brought my first imac and my first computer.. I mean I dont have it cause I sent it away for DOA due to some dead pixels, but besides that. What do people think about macs?

Oh yeah and another thing, I. only. just. got into gaming. I do realise that for hardcore gamers, Build your own PCs are the only way to go. But, I still think imacs are nice 'non-enthusiest' starter computers


Anyway, what do you guys think???



P.S. My computer is a...

24" (1920x1200)
2.8Ghz Core2Duo
320 GB HDD
1GB Ram
W/less Bluetooth keyboard & mice


hey.. btw is it a mouse? or only a mice , plural stuff hmmmm ....

I've been using macs my whole life. You kinda have to get used to the shit you're definitely going to get for it.
I also upgraded to basically what you have but with 500HDD and 4gigs of ram and its keeping me pretty satisfied.

Granted I do more design/photography stuff than like gaming on my mac (...booting into XP takes... ..effort).
I'd totally recommend you getting Bootcamp (not parallel/VM) if You haven't already for gaming.

Gamers generally hate macs because they were brought up with one thing and are not used to something that they are used to being familiar with. That and the total lack of control that the high oh mighty master, Steve Jobs allows us to have with the surface of the Mac.

My personal opinion is that why I buy a car, I don't want to fiddle around with it or deal with problems. It runs and I'm fine with it. It's all gg.
