[QUOTE="Lastmboy, post: 1397501, member: 246992"] Not to argue, but just to educate me (and I always like learning), can you identify some of these features that don't exist on a pc? I am interested. I know we're not really comparing apples to apples (no pun intended), but I'm interested to know the good points about the Mac. Let's say specific to iMac for now. Here are the ones I came up with off the top of my head: Pros for iMac: [LIST] [*]style [*]cool aluminum case that doubles as heatsink [*]awesome 27" IPS display with magnetic glass [*]digital audio out [*]thunderbolt (limited usefulness so far, as no devices that can really exploit it, but still cool) [*]built in bluetooth [*]small footprint [*]OSX [*]Magic Trackpad (and gestures in general) [*]build quality [*]Applecare [/LIST] Pros for PC: [LIST] [*]"Manliness" see [url=http://tcihome.com/mypc.html]My PC[/url] [*]internal bluray burner and/or multiple optical drives [*]eSata ports [*]Larger power supply [*]More cooling options [*]front facing USB/eSata/Firewire/audio ports [*]5.1 audio out [/LIST] The same on both: [LIST] [*]CPU [*]hard drive(s) [*]RAM [*]RAM easily expandible [*]Multiple USB ports [*]firewire port [*]networking [*]?? motherboard ?? ( I don't know what's in an iMac or who makes it) [*]support for multiple monitors [*]expandable with external devices [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
