imac vs home pic/macbook vs labtop

[cane]

ok guys.. like i have said, im behind with tech stuff and especially computers..

i have a gateway computer and i hate it.. should i ditch it for a imac? something else? or just keep the crap



i want another lab top, i gave the wife my sony vario

what should i get a macbook pro? ipad? something alot cheaper like a dell?

i could look this up but i would rather get opinions from average guys then some computer review writer.

The iMac is awesome but if your not very good with computers it can be a little hard to use at times. Best thing to do is to go to the tutorial groups at the apple store and they show you how to use your shit properly without the headaches. you won't be disappointed with an iMac they run so much better than PCs

As for lap top it depends on what you use it for, personally I'd just get a hp laptop

I can never get into Apple computers. I like ASUS laptops. Dell is good for a workhorse and nothing else, it's all i've used for 8 years in business. But for playing and surfing I like ASUS. But with Apple computers you definitely won't have to worry about issues, just got to learn to use it.

Now if you was a Gamer. You just can't beat overclocking an Intel chip on your desktop. The speed cannot be matched on a Mac desktop. LOL, sorry I had to throw that in there, I hate Apple.

Don't get an iPad. They suck! That's what I've got and I hate it. I can't watch any shows on it (no Flash), quite a few websites won't even load on it, very hard to type on, you can't download or upload anything (mp3s, jpg, etc), and a lot of forums won't work without special apps. Also, you still need a laptop to set it up and to perform updates! Bullshit!

I told you to jailbreak it and you can download straight to it.

But yeah I'm not a big fan of the iPad for that $ I'd rather get a laptop

Well with the laptop like I said it depends what you want it for... I prefer a hp laptop for the price and versatility but I do like the MacBooks a lot

With your pc you can basically make a new one buy getting a external hard drive, and a new operating system onto it, such as Linux or windows 7. You can even get a new motherboard for fairly cheap as well if you can manage to install it yourself. I still have my pc from 99 lol still works great but I keep upgrading the internals and operating systems to keep the cost down. I have a iMac as well.

I would never game on a laptop anyway. They get too hot and noisy and the fan sounds like a jet aircraft engine. I still game on my desktop, but gaming on PC has really went to shit in my opinion. The gaming industry can't seem to put out anything decent anymore...it's just sequel after sequel. I bet I haven't bought a new game in well over a year. Meanwhile my Nvidia 570 GTX sits in my case, just grabbing some antiquity day by day....

I love the iMac. I've had 2 now. U can porn it up all u want. No spyware or bullshit to deal with.

I used to do IT work. Got tired of reloading windows every yr to keep the damn things running well.

My dads pc is nothing but issues. I've relapsed windows twice now.....he doesn't even look at porn. I checked lol.

If u do photoshop, video editing etc apple is the way to go.

If u like gaming.....it's a pc u want.
