(Edited July 11th by borisluxx) Yes, I used to be a Windows user for several years and built my own system a number of times. After purchasing a new iMac for my wife and having so many problems with every one of my PCs, I decided to go with a real computer. from Pricegrabber.com Pros: Dual Processors Massive RAM expandability Super Quiet Nice Form Nice to Look at Cons: It's an Apple, so there is not as much support for it as with PCs. from Shopping.com I converted to Apple computers back in law school, when I purchased my first Powerbook G4 (at the time, it was an amazing 400 mHz!) At first, I was very happy with Apple products: they were fast, easy to use, supported by amazing software developers, and oh so nice to look at and use. This Power Mac DP G5, my eigth Mac computer since then, is no different. from Amazon.com I use Mac's and PC's for work, and keep this as my computer for home. Both have there uses, but I like the OS for the Mac alot better. from Amazon.com I've been using both Macs and PCs for about 12 years now. I prefer the Mac ten-fold over PCs. from Amazon.com If the new G5s are even better, which I imagine they are, buyers won't be disappointed. I haven't had any trouble with mine and compared to my old TiBook, it's super fast and everything GUI runs clean and smoothly. from Amazon.com question: how many mac bashers have actually used mac? I would just like to say that I work with both PC computers and Macs, but for home use i would prefer my G4 iMac and G3 iBook over a PC anyday. from Amazon.com I am a Mac fanatic and I did some research about this so called Apple "dual processors" and I found out that 90% of the software available for macintosh doesn't even recognize the second extra processor, so it runs as if it were a single processor 99% of the time. In other words, the computer works at half the advertised speed for practically everyone. from Amazon.com Bought this when my old G4 got hit by lightning and I'm very pleased. Was going to wait for Intel machines, but... from Amazon.com I use a dual 2GHz powermac every day doing java and Objective-C development. Pair this up with a nice monitor, like a 20" cinema display, and you have a very nice system to use for just about anything. from Amazon.com
