New Computer- Mac v PC?

(1/8) > >>

Eldirial:
Well, i would have had my new computer tonight, but the bank enjoyed putting a 5 day hold on my student loan check, so now I wait... but, this gives me time to ask- is there any real reason I shouldn't get a Mac?  I was planning on getting one of the cheaper Imac's (bout 1300 with extras), and other than gaming (Which I don't need much of- I need to focus on college, not games) I can't find a real reason to keep away from macs.

Anybody?

salada:
well when i saw this thread i was going to ask about gaming (fact of life, you'll miss out on a lot of cool games if you stick to mac exclusively).

can i ask what you're studying? certain degrees lend themselves to one platform or the other, while a lot are sort of ambivalent about it.

would you be getting a laptop or a desktop machine?

also, apple do that student discount thing.

Eldirial:
Desktop- I have a couple year old Windows machine for a laptop, it will last me a little while longer.

I'm studying history, with the intent to teach- so there isn't really much computer preferance in there.

And I will probably allways also have a windows machine of some sort- I just think a mac might make day to day computer usage, (mainly schoolwork, music and movies) Nice and easy.

Inanimate Object:
If you'll have a PC to do things like convert Word documents, then by all means, get a Mac. For what you want, it seems like an iMac would be perfect. It's nice and fast so schoolwork will be a breeze. You'll have iTunes, which is just about the best music player out there (even most PC people agree). Last but definitely not least, iMacs have a beautiful 16:9 screen so movies are incredible.

And if you want to game, even the lowest model iMac can still handle the best games available for Mac. There are limited options as to what there is to play though.

Sythe:
I think I've seen one Mac game in my life.
