Anyone planning on buying an Apple computer sometime?

[JASANITY]

Now that OSX Tiger is released, whose tempted to get a system?

 

[imported_Kensai]

I'm tempted to get their 30" monitor with Dual-Link DVI.

 

[farmercal]

No

 

[Shortass]

I'd be tempted if I wasn't already an ultra poor 17 year old who's broke due to his car and a ton of music equipment.

Would love to get a mini but no KVM swithc yet.Have an apple store close by at 6:00 pm for the tiger rollout they will a contest to win apple prizes from an ipod to PowerBook 15'

 

[Sentinel]

I wouldn't want to buy a mac, evar!

 

[jdogg707]

I want one of the new Power Mac's, but right now, just don't have the cash...

 

[Bateluer]

I don't take out loans to buy computers, period.

 

[n0cmonkey]

I've got a powerbook, and I'm planning on getting a mini or two.

Should edit this to NO WAY. Macs are slow, buggy, and have irriatating OS quirks. Call me a hater, but i have to use one EVERY day--hate it.

If you say so...

buggy,

No more than any other system.

and have irriatating OS quirks.

I think that falls under personal preferences.

Sucks to be you.

I would buy a mac if they would cut the price in half, or more.

No reason, XP works well for me and all my software requires Windows.

If I want a cube, I'll buy a Shuttle or Antec Aria.

Compared to a mac mini, sure. But they run XP and you can put in a decent video card.

 

[twitchee2]

if ihave 5k i would in a heart beat. my mom has one and i love it but she is always on it

Not gonna upgrade anytime soon, Mac OS or Mac system. Very happy w/ my current G5 Dual 2 GHz running 10.3.9 w/ 2GB RAM.

I don't have any problems with the video card.
And I can think of more uses for it that don't involve XP. :light:

 

[n7]

Most certainly not

Time for a bit of a derail. I'm thinking about upgrading soon, is there any reason I should think about a Mac? I estimate, write contracts, do some cad work and play games on my box. Would a mac do all those things better than a pc?

No.

OS alone doesn't make them appealing to me. I wouldn't buy a Mac for a lot of reasons...

- All the software I own is for the PC
- I already know how PCs work
- I like games
- I like to easily tweak my system
- I like to cheaply upgrade my system
- I like to easily build my own systems
- I like to spend (far) less for similar performance
- I refuse to buy products for which the majority of the purchase price goes toward advertising or brand image creation & maintenance
