Would you ever pick an Apple Imac over your PC?

I posted the boot camp things to show that windows can run nicely on a mac (not me or my machine).

I'm not a mac user, I don't own a mac - I'm currently on vista on a PC that I have built myself, but I have used OS X and I do like it. I will probably get a mac one day but I posted the videos in response to your claims that windows ran poorly on a mac.

I am not saying anything, i just do not understand why you would want to run boot camp, if you so want to use Wondows then use windows without boot camp, and i was just telling people about my personal experience with Macs,

And lol to the guy who wrote the stages, prety funny.
 
Boot Camp is pretty good, it's basically running windows naively so it will be as good as running it on an equally speced windows machine. So it's useful for the windows install for the occasional gaming and windows only apps.
 
An argument against Boot Camp is a downhill one. I am by NO MEANS a Mac fan. I like the OS, but its last in preference for me amongst the three I've used. (Linux, Windows, OSX) They're nice rigs, and saying if you want a Windows machine, run Windows on it does not make Boot Camp any less impressive. Why settle for one OS if you want and have use for two? I'm not saying I approve of Apple's pricing methods or marketing choices, but they are a lot better than most raging Windoze fanbois make it seem. Most haven't even used one, and just hate on it because its the "In" thing to do, although, the reverse is also true, owning a Mac is a popular fad now and these heated wars have developed between the two irrational sides. (Not saying all Mac fans/haters are irrational, but in my experience, many of them have no REAL reasons for or against either side.) I'm getting off topic. Boot Camp is all well and good, you can't really argue against it, but in the same respect, why not just dual boot? I'm no Boot Camp expert, but what does it offer that dual booting doesn't? All I can imagine is a more user friendly way to swap OS's, possibly without restarting the computer (Although wouldn't the OS, be it OSX or windows, still have to boot anyway? Seems like that kinda defeats the purpose...)

Like what you are saying, listen to this guy!!!!
 
Uuuh. No. Not really. They do have pretty good laptops, but when you get a PC laptop, just install W7 on it :D
I spent $600 on my new rig and it is probably as fast as an IMAC. Which would be double that price.
And when MAC machines start to break, they REALLY BREAK down on you. lol. I've seen mac people get soooo annoyed with their precious mac starts to have issues. You can't really fix it yourself, you need to take it to the apple store to get it repaired from a guy that doesn't know what hes doing. And pay them 400$ for just sticking a DVD in the ROM and let the program do it itself. PC's you can fix em yourself :D

Boot camp is dual booting, you don't have to load OS X to bring up windows with boot camp.
