I have a Mac that rarely needs to be restarted at home and at work a PC that rarely needs to be restarted. Apparently I live in a unique universe, or I just make sure my stuff works.
Yeah, must be it.

Well, everyone else on this thread has Macs that are crap or PCs that need to be restarted once every 45 minutes, so I'm apparently some sort of anomaly![]()
ive never once actually needed a 27" screen. If i did. i'd hook up my computer to a 50"tv.
I dont understand why you would ue an iMac, when a macbook pro has the same ****, but is portable.
Unfortunately, me. 2007, actually - its an off-lease HP xw8400 workstation. Dual quad core Xeons and 12GB of RAM, striped SSDs and Win 7 (NO WAY on Win 8). I really, really, REALLY want a new iMac... but don't need it and can't afford it.
My biggest beef with my HP, though, is that it serves double as a space heater.My little 8' x 9' office is typically 5-10 degrees warmer than the rest of the house. I just don't see a new iMac on my teacher's salary and with a new baby anywhere in my future. Now I'm wondering if this HP would work well as a hackintosh... hmm...
Back to the thread (sorry!), I think its a shame that Apple removed the DVD drive from BOTH iMacs. I can see it being gone from the smaller 21.5" (not that I agree), but why not keep a slim DVD in the 27"?
And you're pretty honest - most people on here are so pro-mac, they get personally offended by other people who disagree with them.
Personally, I like working on Macs, but I know they have their problems too - like I was reminded today when I had to borrow a white macbook for something, and I was reminded of the crackbook nickname they got because the white casings have a tendency to crack and crumble.
Programmes either crashing or needing to be force quit.
The beach ball seems to be a far too frequent occurrence as well.
I also seem to have network connectivity (over a wired Gigabit Ethernet connection) issues that the Windows based machines on the same network don't experience.
Saying "you are doing something wrong" could be easily applied to people complaining about crashes under Windows.
I asked the question because what you are seeing is not common, and causes me to think there is a configuration or other issue causing your "crashes." It sounds like it is not the OS "crashing," but particular applications. That should be relatively easy to remedy. But, honestly, your argumentative responses (e.g., the final line of your post above) make me just want to move on.
I don't give even a tiny crap whether you or anyone else uses Windows or OS X. But, good grief, when someone is trying to be helpful, turn down the attitude a bit.
Good luck.

I'm a fellow Apple/Mac fan but no point in spreading misinformation like this. It took me all of 30 seconds to find that you can get an Ivy Bridge i7 computer that turbos up to 3.9 GHz on Dell's web site for $750. That's significantly better than the i5s that are in the base model iMacs.
A quick google shows one for under half that. Well under half if you don't want to match the resolution... Looks like someone is a bit behind on things...
Nope, the OS crashes too.
Where? Please link me. In the mean time, try to find some parts on newegg or frys or whatever website you want to use, and try build a decent i7 rig for $750. See how that works out for you.
I love the sentence "IF YOU DON'T WANT TO MATCH THE RESOLUTION".
What are you trying to say here? I can buy a toyota for 1/10th of the price of a ferrari if i don't want to match the speed. I can buy a 10 yr old pentium instead of a i7 if i don't want to match the performance.
The whole point of a 27" is so you get more screen real estate because of the high resolution. Not sure what you were trying to get at there.
Also you do know there are huge differences in terms of panel quality even if they are all "ips panels" right?
Someones a bit behind with his brain.
Look at the amount of apple equipment I mention i own in a previous post, also mentioning I have a 27" iMac as an office machine - my employer said I could have whatever I wanted - PC, mac etc... That probably suggest my occupational status is a hell of a lot higher than yours, so probably not too much wrong with my brain, kid![]()
LMAO trying to throw down the "im better than u irl card" after failing to prove ur point on the internet. well played, sir.
i seriously doubt anyone with the maturity beyond a 16 year old would go around on the internet showing off "the amount of apple equipment" he owns. Yea im definitely not as cool as you. they only give us windows laptops here, we try not to promote things from our competitors.
How did I fail to prove my point on the internet? You weren't really making a point at all. In fact, you resolve to insulting people just because they hold a different opinion to you, with regards to computer hardware. Clearly to get so hell-bent on such trivial shows you are the one with an unfortunate level of intelligence, don't you think? I'm insulting you, because you insulted me. You insulted me, because my opinion on apple products is different to yours. Who's the one with lower brain power here?..
Apparently I was behind the times when you're comparing apples to oranges.
Leaving the mac aside, there's a different between a $800 dell 27" and a $300 piece of crap 27" you can get at bestbuy.
Nobody's behind the times here. You just wasted 5 pages in this thread making very very poor arguments against the imac...
