Just my a guide to person who searching 'Why I need Mac rather than Microsoft Windows machine????

Mine :

iMac 20" (MB324B)- 2.66GHz Intel CoreDuo - 2GB RAM - 320GB HDD - ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO with 256MB - Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard (includes Time Machine, Quick Look, Spaces, Spotlight, Dashboard, Mail, iChat, Safari, Address Book, QuickTime, iCal, DVD Player, Photo Booth, Front Row, Xcode Developer Tools) - iLife ’08 (includes iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, iWeb, GarageBand)

Own since July 2008...

SATISFIED!!! OS X Leopard10.5 much-much-much better than Vista... This iMac, my god super fast computer, great response for multi-task, less than a minute Startup or shut down (even lots of program still running)... And very beautiful machine ever...

2.4Ghz Macbook since January. It was my first, the first of many hopefully. After years of using PCs I can confidently say I will never go back.

It just works!

1) Mac Mini 1.66Ghz Core Duo, 2GB RAM, 60GB HDD, Intel GMA 950 graphics now running Leopard 10.5.3 - first Mac I got, have had it for a couple of years now.

2) MacBook Pro 2.4Ghz Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM, 160GB HDD, Nvidia 8600M GT 256MB graphics card running Leopard 10.5.3 - have it for about a month or so.

Satisfied - beautiful OS, nowhere near the amount of annoyances found in Vista, great stability (even when an app crashes, "Force Quit" just works and does not bring the whole OS down with it...)

HELL NO !!!

More Macs than I can count just now but I find trying to do even simple things with Windows XP (Don't get me started on Vista !!) is a chore. Time Machine has been a life saver on several occasions and iSync and iCal are easier than anything I've seen on Windows or Linux.

I'd be interested to see what type of mac everyone owns. I'd set up a poll but I've no idea how to do it!!

Definately satisfied with my mac!

I have a 15" MacBook Pro. 2.33 GHz, Core 2 Duo. 2 GB RAM.
Leopard is excellent and Time Machine is a life saver.

chalad07 · 28-07-2008, 15:12

Def happy with mine,

I've yet to meet someone who's regretted making the swith from PC to Mac.

The one bad thing: I hate working on my work PC now!
