[QUOTE="Kalergie, post: 844118, member: 100437"] Thanks for jumping in this discussion, Guys. This is a quite big step for me as I have never had anything else than a Win mashine. And I must say, I am not switching out of anger or desperation. I never had any problems with my Win laptop. However, this was a work pc and it had the specs of a coffee mashine. It was just a normal pc and did its job fine and reliably for 4.5 years. The only reason I am even suggesting a change is curiosity! Apple simply got me on their hook! ;D I think, I might have put too much emphasis on the gaming part in my post. I have not played any games in years and do not even know if I am that much into it really. Games I used to play were Battlefield 1943 and C&C series'. I read in another thread here that the current C&C was tested on the Alu MB and it was fine. The Apple guys did not want to confirm that which I found very bad. You know what, I wish I could just go to the apple store with my favourite game and try it on one of their computers before I buy one. It works in Hifi stores with music cds, why not with games in a computer store??? Bobtomay: What you are suggesting is not such bad an idea actually. Building a gaming rig for one purpose and one purpose only! Gaming! Just as if I had a (very expensive) console. I work at my laptop like every day and I use it at home, on the plane, and at the office. Seriously, everything speaks against switching to Apple. I could buy a great working office laptop from Dell for 700$ and a game station PC for like 1500$ even incl. a large screen and work and leisure will be perfectly seperated. But this bloody Apple, it got me hooked up. I need to get it out of my system! Maybe I should go for the Win PCs setup and buy an iphone to satisfy my Apple lust. :Smirk: Keep it coming guys. I am happy to discuss this with you. Pascal PS: I am 25. [/QUOTE]
