Is it a Pro? Tell me it's a MacBook Pro. Talk dirty to me. <3
Aindel, if you hate Macs, then you don't know how to work a computer. D=< They're slick, smooth, beautiful engine, capable of fierce exploits with often-untapped power.
Also, having a Mac means you don't need to re-install windows twice a year, format once a year, download a firewall, an antivirus and a spyware tracer, manually find hidden files to delete when uninstalling a program, waste half your processor's strength on a stuffed OS, buy half your hardware separately to get a competitive machine, waste desk space to store a shit-ugly tower, manually clean your computer every two months at the very least and be stuck with an overpriced, bugged, tyrannical and unnecessarily draining Windows Vista. On top of it, the iMac is a jewel of design, comes factory-built with just the technology I need and fits a comfortable hard drive, a beautiful graphic processor, 4gig of RAM, a strong Core 2 Duo, a great DVD player/writer, a great wireless card, a camera and very good speakers in a 20" flat screen thinner than the one I currently have.
It also comes with a free iPod.

... I just build my own computer. I'm too cheap to buy one. I scavenge around and piece it together. And it works great? I get no viruses, I don't ever have to reformat, I havn't reinstalled Windows in years, and the tower is teeny-tiny.

*Hands five points to Pi for building her own computer* I finally found someone that's capable of knowing that the best thing you can do is build your own...

*raises both eyebrows*
Whoah, there, Poppy. No need to get excited. XD No, it's not a pro. *scowls* I couldn't afford it. So it's just a wee one, 13" 80GB MacBook.
But Limbo, what if you're technologically impaired, like me? I mean, my cousin programmed my phone for me...

FREE IPOD! *Shakes fist*
I'll either be getting a MacBook as well, or an iMac in the next few weeks. Leaning a lot toward the MacBook, cause it does the job, is cheaper, and is portable.

Yes, but if you are into geekery like my family, you use windows and don't have to reformat, re-install, or ECT every year. To be blunt - my brother has only gotten one virus in his life that he couldn't pwn it's ass.
I'm just good at not getting them.
And our family has a computer graveyard that every few years gets parts added to it. So we always have a franken computer that we can use. And, oh, my father just got upgraded to 1/2gig of ram, and to a better processor, he can now open MORE THAN 2 WINDOWS! HOMG!(Yes, he's the least geeky.)

Oh, trust me, Windows is not the operating system I want, it's just that nothing really supports Linux/Unix. And you can only do so much with DOS. That - and I was forced to use a mac all throughout Elementary school - and I -hated- it. That might have just been because I was used to windows back then, but I still really don't like macs.
