Who here has a Mac?

If you do, what do you think of them after having perhaps a Windows PC beforehand?

Im thinking about getting either an iMac, or a Mac Mini in replace of my Desktop because ive somehow become a fan of Apple

But yeah, anything you like/dislike about the MAC Mini's & iMac's?

Also, would you say they are fast/reliable for the money you pay?

But i do like the Mac Mini's and the iMac's

I've got a mac mini and will soon have a macbook pro.

Once you get past the few differences it has between windows it "just works" I always thought it was a marketing thing by apple but after experiencing it first hand it truly does "just work". things do what you expect them to, its easy to use and doesn't crash.
The OS is so much smoother and better designed. probably because window's foundations stem from DOS first relased in about 1981ish wheras OS X was released in 2001.
With windows it is just a jumble of applications mostly ones you have to install yourself with different user interfaces and buggy third party driver support, with OS X most of the applications you need are built in and drivers are supplied by apple so for the most part are decent since millions of people have identical hardware configurations to you.

Okay

would you say to get a Mac Mini as a replacement of a Desktop - or a MacBook?

It becomes £820 with 1GB and £749 with 512MB.

Is it definately worth the extra then?
