iMac or Samsung?

[jinmeister]

Hey. So Christmas is comming up soon and I am trying to convince my dad to get the new iMac. The problem is my dad works for Samsung and everything we own is Samsung; we've never thought about buying an Apple product before although he is well aware of the popularity. I have come up with a few arguments to convince him to get the iMac.

1. the simplicity (only 2 wires)
2. no need to purchase webcam separately to chat with my sister who's in college.
3. boot camp (windows xp/vista) for his office/work purposes.
4. easy-to-use
5. will pay him $200 if affordability is a problem.

So please list any more convincing arguments to help me out for Christmas. Thanks alot. -Jin

Don't some imacs have Samsung LCD panels in them? That could be some ammo.

You can replace the RAM with Smasung chips if they aren't already.

Don't forget hard drives!

You can try turning a current Samsung into a Hackintosh, but the experience may backfire.

The only reason to get a Mac is the Mac OS, unless you want to pay for a non-Centrino, Centrino-esque machine (the similar Intel chips switched with another vendor.)

So ... sell the Mac OS, or know thy enemy.
