Yup, Apple Mac has some of the bet designer hardware out there but....buy one only if..
1) You plan to use it as it is with no intention of upgrading
2) You don't plan to use XP\Vista Media centre on it. Or rather not use it as a TV.
3) You Don't play games.
4) You don't do programing & learn programing for Win32 enviroment.

@gx: why do you have to be so confrontational? Can't you just appreciate the design in one thread at least?

I would have seconded you, because I too feel that gx is a bit of confrontational, when it comes to mac.....led_shankar said:
But the fact is fact, and what ever he has pointed out is unfortunately is correct....

I must say Apple has become a very popular topic on this forum. Wasn't like this. This is good.
And gx. Seriously? I can prove your arguments are invalid but that would make this another one of "those" threads. And its useless. You seem to have gotten your mind all set. Haakshee..

I'd like to take some (dis)credit for that.goobimama said:
Seriously though, I just ran a search and there are 402 threads dedicated to Apple, Macs and the iPhone on this forum. I did not include the iPod because that would have blown things out of proportion. Cool. I hope the trend continues...

@gx_saurav:
1) Here are the current specs of my mac:
*img03.picoodle.com/img/img03/8/4/16/f_signaturenem_4ff8bce.gif
I can upgrade the RAM to 16GB, the hard drive to 3TB, and the display to more than one 30" Cinema Displays. And the CPU can be upgraded too. Don't that count as an upgrade?
3) I play several games on my mac.
4) You can program using XCode and the development tools are included with every Mac.

Why do you care for this guy's opinion!nepcker said:
Like I said, if a person has the money to buy a Mac and then is persuaded by some glib idiots that he shouldn't do so, it is their own loss and though I do pity them, I am not very bothered about those people who cannot think for themselves and believe others' opinions to be facts.ambandla said:wlcm buddy. Lets take Adithya to apple store and make him buy a Mac.

Diablo2, COD series and C&C Generals are the only games on the list I played and didnt hate. My fav games HL series, GTA series, FEAR series and KOTOR series is missing. Well KOTOR 1 is there but not KOTOR2 , NOLF1 is not there but NOLF2 is there.
Right now XP is gaming platform. Vista , linux and Macs suck. Linux can be useful though if one wants to use it for cheap lan party computers to play UT2004 , q3 etc. Vista lacks EAX support, low fps and compatibility issues and Mac doesnt have the best games on its list.
To play games on mac one has to buy windows XP pro and a windows keyboard. Also most of the gaming peripherals like 5.1 speakers dont work with Mac. My gamepad doesnt have mac drivers. Mac maybe way better than windows in everything else but for gaming XP is still the king.
BTW a Mac vs PC spoof on gaming.

1. Why do you need a "windows keyboard"? Are the Insert, Delete and Print Screen keys absolutely essential for gaming?adithyagenius said:
2. 5.1 speakers don't work with Macs! What's next? I guess even mouses don't work and monitors too? Bring the best speakers you've got that work with a PC and they'll work with Macs.
3. Your gamepad does not have Mac drivers because it doesn't need any. I just connected a Frontech gamepad to my MBP yesterday and it worked right out of the box without having to do anything at all. And it worked in a second without any irritating balloons informing me that the system was installing drivers for it.
All this does not mean that Mac OS X is the better gaming platform. No, it isn't. Not by a long shot. But all your points were wrong.
