HAOLE Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 So after years of fighting the pc problems. I am going to the dark side. So school me on what I need to know. I am looking at a 20" iMac. Where is the best place to buy, Apple store, microcenter,bestbuy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin R. Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Wow...you're already like a Mac user because you felt the need to tell us you were getting a Mac but used the ever so clever Mac users camouflage by asking where to purchase one. YOU BUY THEM AT THE STORE. You don't see people asking where to get a Toshiba. I hope we get to hear about how much you love the Mac as much as your back massages now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheHaze Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Buy one online, it's cheaper. And face it, you're gonna need all the discount you can get on those overpriced heaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matty2431 Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 you wont regret it. I never got the whole Mac craze, then I picked up a 13 inch white macbook with the upgraded guts to do my research on and now I am hopelessly addicted to apple products. I'm looking at the same 20" imac, I have the iphone 3g, time capsule (500gb hard drive) and the apple tv. Its a pretty nice set up, its taken years to save and build. But everything sync's together seamlessly so I can access all my tunes and movies pretty much anywhere. When I shopped for my DD it made the ipod hook up in car a necessity.

87GT Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 You should go to http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page and find a version of OSx you want to run. Then you should look over the compatibility list and piece together x86 hardware to build a working machine. Then I suggest you install OSx and Windows XP so you can load windows when OSx won't work for your applications... OR be a nerd and build a very high end machine with quad core processor, a shit ton of memory, 2 identical high end video cards and monitors, and run parallels with windows xp on your right monitor and OSx on the left as normal. Then you won't have to dual boot. You will probably spend less money going with my first suggestion then going to the Apple store. But whatever works for you is fine.
