I would recommend you to make a change

[Mint]

I just wanted to tell you how good going from Windows to Mac was. I'm no fan boy of either. I have been using windows since I was 10, was literally brought up with it. Then Windows 7 came out, wow!! Coincidently my laptop was already starting to die (to much runescape lmao) so off we went to PC World to get a new PC with Windows 7. I had already looked at Mac's on the internet and was really interested, I even asked a few things on here about them but decided £1,500 for a computer was hideous. At PC World, there it was, an iMac 24" on display. I had a mess around on it and was totally dragged in by it. Had a discussion with my parents and we got it. Despite not realising that a new 27" quad core was out (I am now so pissed off about that!!!!!), going from Windows to Mac was the best thing I have ever done in my computing history. Sure, you can buy a PC with better specs for much cheaper but you still can't compare it with a Mac. The looks, the operating system and the overall feel of using it is worth every penny. I am comparing Mac's to high end Windows machines too! Such as my old laptop, a £1,000 Sony VAIO, the iMac outclasses that by miles! So before going out and buying a new PC with Windows 7, consider spending a bit more on an iMac. Just make sure it's the 27", I am taking this 24" back today to upgrade to the 27" which is why I'm on my old laptop now. :/

Closed by Jamesy (Forum Moderator): Mac VS Windows threads are never a good idea. They just devolve into arguments.

No you aren't, your talking ******** with the bit in bold, your comparing it to years old hardware. You can buy a computer and it be out of date the next day, well done in contradicting yourself.

Yeah... Typing in "I am comparing Mac's to high end Windows machines too! Such as my old laptop, a £1,000 Sony VAIO" and making an emphasis on OLD wasn't a good idea And comparing an iMac (Desktop) to a VAIO laptop is a terrible comparison lol

Also, the religious dribble in the middle puts me off, the look isn't amazing, the feel is dreadful and restrictive do not justify spending twice as much imo :/ Some people do, but for me (as this thread is about individuals having to convert to Christianity Macism) Windows is and will always do more for me than a Mac. Besides, I like going back to my old games which won't work on a Mac, and the new games work better on a PC than a Mac I'm not someone who buys a product like Apple Mac OS/X, then installs something like Windows 7 to run next to it. Waste of money and change over.

But if you're happy with a Mac, then cool beans

EDIT: VAIOs are expensive anyway.

I've got OSX on my machine and it isn't a Mac. Wowee for me.

You're a fake and a lie! Go hang your head in shame

[StefanWolves]

I can't believe your comparing an iMac with an old £1000 Sony Vaio. I have up reading after I read that.

[HotelUser]

Kudos for discovering OS X, but perhaps a public announcement to convert us all wasn't necessary.

My uncle did this. He went out to buy his wife a new HP Laptop, came home with 2 24" iMacs. He got one for his wife, and for himself

Haha yeh your right. I didn't say it in the best of ways. It's my old laptop, but it isn't an old Laptop. My model is still sold today, not been out for longer than a year and was made when pretty much the same iMac was out. Forget comparing it to a laptop then, how about my Mum's new PC. It's a dell, it's crap, might be able to compare it to my Mac specifications wise but doesn't compete at all with it overall. She got it with windows 7 which is awesome, but again, Mac OS (for me) is on another level. Obviously you guys like your Windows (possibly even fan boys with windows in your avatars). But I have been using Windows for several years and yesterday when I made the change to Mac I could not believe how awesome it was. I don't want a Mac vs PC argument in this thread, I just want to let people know how happy I was with the change and hopefully you will be to.

[GommeInc]

You will most likely get a PC vs. Mac thread, you're asking people to change or consider it, so you'll get a mixture of opinions chucked around for and against it
