Computer of Doom

I have this crap ass comp and I think i should buy a mac. Is it worth it to switch?

Personally, I say yes. It is a bit more expensive and different from Windows but you will find it much better. Everything just seems to work. You dont have to mess with hardware not compatable or setting up the OS. It just works. Everything is also easier. No need for antivirus and installing programs is literally a drag and drop. With the new Intel Macs you can put Windows if you want. So thats another plus I suppose. Duel booting with Mac and Windows.

But if you are going to get a mac, you might want to wait for Leopard (Mac's next OS) to come out sometime this spring.

Thanks

There's a lot more choice with a Windows or even Linux PC.

Why not build a great ass comp (PC)?

I personally don't like the Mac. I have used them plenty and I applaud their progress in their video editing and authoring suits, but that would be the only reason I'd want to switch.

I'm going to go to Linux first and Mac is far behind in my mind. But that's just my personal opinion.

If you're serious about moving to a Mac, try it out first. But since you didn't specify any particular things you would be doing (video editing, audio mastering, CAD applications, etc.), I don't think you'll have a hard time with the switch.
