iMac, any PC near in terms of looks ?

BEN_UK · 28 Feb 2010 at 21:44

Hello,

Looking for a friend here.

He can get a iMac 21.5-inch 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4GB/500GB @ £900

He loves the look of the iMac but has never owned one and is unsure about leaving windows behind.

Is there a PC out that that can match the iMac in terms of looks ??

Thanks Ben

He could dual-boot with Windows using Bootcamp?

Not really an option.

Thanks anyway.

Are you looking only at all in ones or would a separate case and monitor do? I assume only the former?

In which case there are only two other options I know of, either one made by Sony (who make a few) or possibly HP make one.

The Sony ones look very different to the imacs but are very nice in their own way, not sure about the HP.

MSI have released Wind Desktop, HD screen with ATI GFX? Looks nice.

LED Cinema Display (or Hazro, ...) plus PC or Mac under the table?

Looks better - no chin.

Why is that not an option?

Yeah... you can completely delete the OS X.

Why buy a Mac just for the look?

VaderDSL · 1 Mar 2010 at 21:43

Don't get the mac

at least not for the looks aspect, get it for the good OS, combine with a dual boot and you have the best of everything. The looks that your friend wants, a good OS in OS X and a good OS in terms of Windows 7.

Makes the most sense imo.
