New iMac

[pepsi458]

Have you seen the new iMac.. It is great it looks sleek and sexy, it is powerful, and still has no bulky and ugly box like the PC. Now with the ability to play all PC programs with no viruses, hacking, or problems while still being cheaper than most PCs. Now it is obvious Mac is winning the Personal Computer fight.

The idea of the PC being better is just and illusion. Only the truly wise can see through all illusions.

"Still being cheaper than most PCs"? Apple computers are some of the most expensive on the market, and Apple still only owns around 11% of the market, the other 90% is PCs

REVOLUTION

Macs are more expensive then the lower end PCs, but specs compare the new iMac with much more expensive high end PCs. It is true that NOW the PC world is winning in hardware, but Macs are winning in new more revolutionary tech and are going to surpass the PC is due time.

 

[TheMuffinMan]

New revolutionary tech? It's the same tech that PCs have had for years, only they made is shiny to draw in the idiots

Apple makes a nice PC if all you want to do is plug in and go. No memory card reader, no extra optical drive, built in marginal quality speakers etc...other PC's are made that you can easily do anything to. You can add a camera, or open it up and put in more ram or a new video card, add 7 or 8 USB devices etc..Apple computers look cleaner and is a good choice for many who like simplicity, but the PC is more functional and expandable, same as always, nothing has changed.

Yes I agree and Macs are also better for those smaller businesses and Medical Offices as well as it is the ideal computer for students in all levels including College.

Also, just to note, the new iMac costs roughly $500 more than a Dell or Gateway PC with the same specs

Only the truly wise can see through all illusions.

If by "see through the illusion" you mean "get suckered into buying something for hundreds more dollars simply because it's in a pretty package and they tell you you're gonna be cool because you have one"

 

[pepsi458]

To be exact the imac runs from $899 (plastic design) and the new macs at $1189. To equal all the 1189 mac has the dells cost $999 ( and a load of stress with viruses, hacking and bulkiness) so about 100 difference.

I've had this Dell PC for 5 years now, I've never had a virus. So....your argument is what-now?

Apple fans vastly exaggerate the 'omg lawl virus spyware lolz" matter for PCs, and most definitely the "omg, Macs are IMPERVIUZ to all viruzes!1!" matter

[pepsi458]

Yes it matters I have seen business fall when their system got a virus and they lost everything before my Mac I had a Dell and I lost to a virus so have other friends/family, now on Mac we do not have that problem even movie producers, big business, News broadcasters, and others are changing to Macs due to they know they get no virus that kill the PC.

 

[TheMuffinMan]

I've never had a virus on my computer...perhaps because I'm not an idiot? Case in point, Macs are for people who are incapable of simple tasks, and have no need to do anything of the sort

 

[keyblade13]

the new imacs do look nice but at my school all of the macs always catch virsues

 

[pepsi458]

Simple tasks?? Making movies, running the News, and running big/small business are simple tasks ,wow that is all I have to say to that wow.

Macs do not get virus they do get prone to programing errors for those who mess with the internal workings though. They are 3 viruses that effect the Macs, but you can get them all erased with ease.

 

[TheMuffinMan]

Simple tasks like, you know, having an anti-virus on your computer? Or taking 5 minutes to run a spyware check? Or, not downloading files from people you don't know?

Oh, and don't bullshit me that Mac is so great becuase you can 'run news', it's called the internet, and it's called typing in CNN.com -

YouTube - Mac

"Oh, I can't find the button, I can't turn my computer oh, baww, how do I drag and drop?"

Mac's do not get virus they do get prone to programing errors for those who mess with the internal workings though. They are 3 viruses that effect the Macs, but you can get them all erased with ease.

Are you an idiot? As of 2006 there are around 1,500 known viruses that affect and attack Mac computers

 

[pepsi458]

No no you misunderstand I mean running the news on the TV you know when you watch the new that all is edited and performed by Macs.

 

[TheMuffinMan]

And, you suddenly speak for every business in the entire world? You can't prove that every television network and news studio uses Macs for everything. 90% of the market uses PCs, that includes businesses and corporations.

On the note of "omg, Apple is doing everythign revolutiuonzary, lolololz":

[pepsi458]

I did not say all not all do but some do, but some do use Macs some News, Movie, and business use Macs.

 

[lance104]

wow...TheMuffinMan really supports the PC...a shit load... a lot xD

 

[Lycanthrope]

iMacs aren't special. Just overpriced.

Apple overprices EVERYTHING.

 

[pepsi458]

Yes, but only by a small $100 and if you are speaking of the Iphone AT&T is to blame for that high pricing,

 

[Lycanthrope]

No, I mean their computers. They are relatively the same thing from HP, Dell, Toshiba, and others, but a shiny one. The features aren't much better, either, if even equal.
