Pros/Cons of Apple Macintosh?

If your primary use of the computer is playing poker, running a mac-OS is simply a mistake.

wrong. wrong. wrong. I use my macbook pro full time. XP under parallels runs VERY WELL. Plus, that way I only have to use [censored] old windows for poker. For web, photos, movies, etc, etc I get to use OSX. heaven in an os. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

FYI, Apple unveiled its new line of iMacs today. Gorgeous machines. (did I mention I love my Mac?)

Do the new iMacs have windows included in the package and dual boot configured? Or do you have to configure dual boot and buy windows OS software?

I ask because we are thinking of getting the iMac?

Thanks

What's the cheapest place (on the internet) to buy a macbook pro within the EU?

Interesting...

I work in the computer industry and I'm amazed at how many professionals use macs. Including many people who maintain fleets of windows computers at large and small corporations who are quite well versed in what a 'versatile' computer would include.

I just bought an Apple Macbook to play poker on.

The 2.0ghz white version with 1gb of ram is 999.99 with the student discount

Ipod comes with $200 rebate, which means you get can get the black 30gb video ipod for $50. And then sell that for $200 on ebay pretty easily.

So that comes out to.. 850+tax?! I upgraded my memory to 2gb for only $70. So far, the price is great. (As compared to a Dell/HP of similar specs) Will install bootcamp to run windows and all the poker programs soon.
