Thinking of buying a mac. >Can run windows in parellels so no need to worry about gaymen or other software. I know I could build a much better computer for the money but hey - I have the money, so why not? Any tips for a new macfag? Is there anything I won't be able to do on it that I can exclusively on windows? Thanks. Inb4homosex Inb4poorfag Inb4cantinb4 Inb4starbucks

>>29004475 Personally I'd wait for the retina MBA, but the new 13" rMBP is a good compromise.

>>29004699 I was thinking more along the lines of a Mac mini or iMac (like the idea of mini the mot for many reasons)

if you have money why not spend it on something useful?

Don't buy a top of the line 27 inch iMac. They run extremely hot, like so hot if you touch it long enough when you're actually using the CPU it can burn you. Also, the top of the line video card you can get for them wont max out games at the resolution they use. The top of the line 27 inch iMacs are not worth the money unless you're a photographer really. The Mac pros are a nice machine. The only con with them is the lack of a decent video card. The best video card you can get for them are 5870's...... Mac Mini's are a POS unless all you want to do is browse facebook, check your email or install gentoo on it and run it as a $600+ file server.

If you have the money, why not use it for a computer that costs the same but has better hardware?
