This piece of crock that is my 24 month old Presario is destined for the old age PC home in the very near future.. Whilst on company business i managed to find my way into an Apple distributors store and the new Intel IMAC gained my attention. It looks a very nice piece of kit, and was wondering whether anyone on here runs the new one. The 24" 2.4GHZ gained my attention the most.. Are they miles better than Windows/Intel based PC's in terms of stability ? or is just good marketing by Apple

Cheers

been kicking an Imac around this afternoon - it may be fantastic but is also a pain in the arse to configure unless you are just typing a letter

Kaine you must be joking - a Mac is soooooooooooooooooooooooo easy to configure. When I bought my kid's pc's (Because of school stuff) these things are difficult! 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

I dont mean stand alone confi - we've been setting up a few mobile units with multiple screens, roaming mouse/keyboards and wifi this afternoon and I just prefer windows in these systems - much quicker and easier to troubleshoot

I have to agree with VA - the macs are much easier to configure OMHO

Kaine comments are valid as well - it is also down to what you are use to using.
