Hello all, glad to be part of this forum. First of all, I am excited and ready to take a leap into the Apple world. After all the resistance I've put up and after all of my attempts to safeguard the Windows brand (for personal computing at least), I can't deny the quality and appeal of these machines.
This post is kind of a two-part post. First, I am 90-percent sure I am going to buy either an iMac or MacBook Pro Retina. That missing 10-percent revolves around one very general question: As a lifetime Windows user, I don't worry about software/hardware compatability or instances where web browsing is somehow affected because I own a Mac (if that even has any truth to it), so how often do you folks have these imcompatibility issues? Is it rare? Perhaps it depends on what you're doing, so let me throw out some words that can paint a rought picture of my usage:
College Student, use microsoft word, rarely use excell, use powerpoint, no gaming, no programming or photo/video editing, happy owner of Samsung Galaxy S3, youtube, casual web browsing, and maybe Hulu. Will ever run into any sort of problems using what I just listed? A simple yes or no will do
Second, which machine to buy? Based on what I listed, will a 15" MacBook Pro Retina suffice as a home PC replacement, or is the iMac the better option for roughly the same price? It's a mouthful but I appreciate your time! Thank you!
