Hey,
I'm going to buy a new desktop computer soon. I'm thinking about both PC and a Mac, but I can't really decide. I assume that Mac would be better for music (as iTunes is bit-perfect, it looks neat and doesn't have any plugins that has to be installed) and to web browsing, common office work. The thing is that iMac's hardware, well... sucks. I'm not really a gamer, but I like to play something from time to time. As I've counted, for a price of 24" iMac (C2D 3,06Ghz, HD4850, 2GB RAM, 1TB HDD), I could buy a silent and stable PC with i7, HD5870, 2TB RAID 0 and 2TB RAID 1, 4GB RAM and 24" display. I have tried an OS X and I liked it a lot, but I'm not really convinced to pay this much for a Mac. I haven't tried a Windows 7 though, I'm still an XP user. Any ideas? Advantages and disadvantages of both?
