I've been thinking about getting an iMac. I have a Dell XPS right now, and it was doing really great. But over the past year it seems to be getting bogged down (as have all the computers I've owned) and the nuking and defragmenting doesn't seem to help. Plus it isn't my computer (the families) so I will need my own soon anyways.
There are a couple things I like about the Mac. More stable than a PC, for the specs it seems like a better value than a PC (
this one), the new one looks great, no junk software included. Plus on the surface it is more simple than a PC. The only downside I see is the ability to run games. I haven't been playing much in the way of computer games recently and since it is possible to run windows on the mac I can still run all my games (or use my xbox). Plus I just want to try something different. My other choice is to build my own PC, but I have a feeling I would end up spending much more than this Mac will cost.
