[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1589498, member: 56379"] Yes. But if you want to play games that are Windows only (no Mac version)...you will need to install Windows via bootcamp (native) or via emulation (Parallels or VMware Fusion). If you don't know what this means..."Google it" and/or read this: [url]http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/running-windows-anything-else-your-mac/114239-running-windows-mac-switchers-guide.html[/url] "Value" is a relative term...depends on a persons needs.:) - lots & lots & lots of designers use Macintosh computers - depends how much you like the Mac OS - like you mentioned in your 1st post...[i]"Mainly I want my machine to work. Which is why I'm looking at the iMac."[/i] Focus on that last statement you made...[i]"Mainly I want my machine to work. Which is why I'm looking at the iMac."[/i] This is what a Mac does...and does well!:) This is a MUCH MUCH more important thing than just gaming or Adobe products...it applies to everything!:) But like I mentioned...an iMac will do gaming well (maybe not max. settings)...and it will certainly do Adobe products well.:) - Nick p.s. Just remember. If you've only been a Windows person (not much Mac OS experience)...there will most likely be a learning curve (or a "change curve"). If you have any concerns about this...get yourself in front of a Mac & play with it for a while (coworkers Mac, friend's Mac, Apple Store, etc.). [/QUOTE]
