I've got one Harry, it takes a bit of getting use to if you've been on Windows before hand.
Once you get the hang of them they are a slick machine.
It's worth booking an appointment at the genie bar in an Apple Store to give you a run through in the basics.

If I could afford one, I'd have an iMac in a heartbeat!
But with an iPhone 6+ (7 when I can be bothered to upgrade, as it's due) and an iPad Air, I find it hard to justify that kind of money.

I have a 6+, 2 iPads, mac book pro, and a iMac. They knock spots off microsoft products in every way.

I've never had an iPhone or an iPad and could with a desktop instead of laptop. They're bloody expensive compared to a pc. They look nice though

...especially price wise.

So long as you don't use 'bloatware' (or visit obvious malware type sites) then a good spec PC will be just as good, if not better than a Mac.

People seem to think a PC can be bashed around (through vigorous application working) but they wouldn't bash the Mac the same way - something to do with the cost I suspect.

Just respect your PC, save a few hundred £ and go to PC Specialist or Chillblast and I promise you will have a decent PC that will outrun an iMac. The only benefit that is obvious is that a Mac may hold its resale value better.

MAC every time. You pay for what you get.

Windows PC or Laptop.

"A mac can do this, a mac can do that, a mac do lots of other irrelevant **** just like all other Apple devises and because it made by Apple we'll charge you an additional 50% premium for the name alone and you'll have a bog standard computer that beats a PC at nothing!".

My Laptop was £600. I can play the latest games with high graphics quality, video editing, music production (complete myth that the mac is better than a pc for this), photo editing, CAD, it does the lot.

I've nothing but sheer admiration for Mr Apple and his PR team. How they manage to convince people their Chinese products are better than anyone else's and you should pay a premium to own them is utter brilliance.

I'm beginning to see an underlying theme to your Apple posts Paul!

It's very subtle, but it's there....

I can't help but think that your unique brand of sarcasm and humour is sadly lacking from the temporary plumbers thread in here!

In fact I think you're missing a unique opportunity to shine in your own right!

Trouble is I quite often bat for the other side so I have to be careful...
