[QUOTE="VakeJ, post: 68131, member: 8283"] Hi, I’m new to this forum, and I know this question may cause a few long sighs (the endless debate between PC and Apple). :spook: I’ve been shopping for a home computer for about 2 months now. I’ve narrowed it down to the Dell 8400, and the Apple iMac G5. Right now Dell has a great deal on their systems, but something is drawing me to the Apple. I primarily use the PC for web browsing, very heavy/advanced Excel/Access use (mostly work related), Photo editing, music, and very limited gaming. For fiancé is a senior computer programmer and utilizes a host of advanced programs, including Access, SQL, and other programming stuff (She’s leaning more towards the Dell). Many of her cohorts have told me/her that the Apple is only 1.8 gigs, whereas the Dell is 3.4 gigs, “Duh, go with the Dell.” I’m sure some of you have been in a similar situation. What caused you to pick the Apple over a Dell (or other PC)? For those of you who’ve owned iMac G5’s for a few month’s now, how do you like it? If you previously owned a PC, how does it compare to the PC? Your input would be greatly appreciated! :cool: Thanks, Vake J. [/QUOTE]
