Switching to Mac - advice needed

Name: Slackware 2010-03-13 1:24

So I was given a Dell at my job but I'm not liking it too much. It's really unintuitive, ugly and I think the screen is bent. Something's off about the picture. Pretty sure it's riddled with viruses too (thank you Microsoft). A lot of things seem to be going haywire.

I'm definitely switching to Mac but not sure if I should get a Macbook or wait for ipad which looks promising. All the possibilities of a regular computer, plus videos, books, music and unwired internet, without the hassle of a keyboard. I love the sleek design and the user friendly sofware.

Should I a get the Macbook or will they be obsolete once iPad is released

iPad isn't a Mac.  It's a 12" mp3 player.  Stop trolling, troll.

Or you could put together a Hackintosh and not rely on manufacturers to make decisions for you.

You could get yourself a regular Macbook (not Macbook Pro) refurbished for $849.00 (USD) right off the official Apple store. http://store.apple.com/us/product/FC207LL/A?mco=MTU5MjkwMjk It's just as good as getting it brand new except Apple by law cannot sell it as such since it's been opened by a previous customer. And plus you still get the same exact warranty and everything. You could probably find even cheaper refurbished ones at third party resellers.

Or if you're looking for a cheap desktop solution that can run OS X, you could do what >>4 suggested and put together a nice Hackintosh that is almost comparable to a decent Mac Pro desktop. I suggest signing up for the forums at InsanelyMac http://www.insanelymac.com/ and hanging out on the IRC channel #OSx86 @ moofspeak. At the time of this writing, there's 49 nicks on there (including myself).

Of course if you're not on a tight budget, splurge on a new Mac Pro. The choice is yours, good luck.

It's only a matter of time before iPads completely replace desktop PC's in offices throughout the west. It's only a matter of time before popular companies like Pixar™ acknowledge the undeniable superiority of the iPad.

Oh please, even Apple fanboys admit the iPad will be a failure for Apple.

Isn't iPad a Kotex product

agreed...the iPad is probably the most over-hyped apple product ever...it has LESS features then an iPhone if memory serves.

Every time i think of the iPad, i think of the image where jobs is holding up several iPhones duct-taped together.

Nice try, but even if I feel for that ancient Internet troll, NoScript still would have saved the day. Once again, you have failed. Try again.

" The iPad has a 9.7-inch (25 cm) LED backlit multi-touch  display with a pixel resolution of 1024x768, 16 to 64 gigabytes (GB) of flash memory, a 1-gigahertz (GHz) Apple A4  processor, Bluetooth 2.1, and a 30-pin dock connector to sync with iTunes and connect wired accessories. "

Does that look better than a Macbook to you?

Yes. Less resources wasted on the product.

Don't forget that it can't run more than one program at a time, and runs on iPhone OS not OSX.

iPhone OS is a derivative of OS X though.

Extremely limited derivative lacking in power or the ability to multitask. Or even run flash

I see. But flash is terrible anyway and needs to die. I wish adoption of HTML 5 would hurry up.
