Huge improvement. Now I just need an Apple display, BlueTooth Mighty Mouse, (getting with my MacBook) and BlueTooth Apple keyboard.
BTW if the aluminum part of the mini looks scratched in the pics it isn't, it's just reflecting scratches that are on the desk.
i have that same bluetooth headset, it was better than my motorola h3
Well, they are pretty good for $600. Of course they will be underpowered when compared to a high end PC. You can't change the graphics card, (well, not easily) but it is obviously not meant for gaming, (are any Macs?) or extremely heavy video editing, (its fine unless you plan on using Final Cut Pro (even that is ok as long as you don't use Motion a lot)) so the shitty integrated Intel one will work fine for most things it's users will be doing.Deanis said:
The chip doesn't prevent other OSs from being installed on a Mac. It just prevents OS X from being installed on non-Apple computers. Apple even has an app to simplify the installation of other OSs, its called BootCamp.strommsarnac said:
And its pretty damn close to the same with PCs. It is very hard to find good PCs at a good price that don't have Windows preinstalled. Many Linux users resort to buying a PC with Windows, then spending multiple hours on the phone trying to get a refund for Windows which is promised in the Windows license, only with a small success rate.strommsarnac said:
Umm....no. OS X is based on BSD, which is in turn based on Unix. It is not based on Linux, though it is closely related to it seeing as Linux is also based on Unix. Your figures are also faulty. It is BSD at the base, but if you strip everything that was done by Apple you would have a very incomplete OS. I don't see how it being based on an excellent and stable OS is a negative aspect either.strommsarnac said:
It sounds like you used old PowerPC Macs. :/ If you plan on playing games on it, then I definitely wouldn't recommend a Mac at all, because while they are catching up in the gaming area, (GH3,UT3,GoW) they still have a long way to go. If forced to use a PC I would install Linux, (nearly as good as Mac IMO) or if I were a PC gamer I would dual boot with Linux and Windoze, but only boot Windoze to play games that can't be played through WINE.Deanis said:
I wish Apple displays were of comparable price. A 30" is $1,800. :shocked: But an ugly black Dell won't really fit in with my Macs. -_- I found an old 22" Apple display on a local classified ad for $400, so I may purchase that. I love the appearance of the older ones, (and the new ones, but not as much so) but I feel like I'm getting screwed so badly when paying $400 for a four year old monitor.Deanis said:
. At the bottom I put my laptop in the picture, it's not very good and can't be used for gaming but oh well lol.
Only friendly banter.
