Should I use OS X - Hardware & Software

[QUOTE=chrishind10;32265797]Sorry, my reading comprehension is off this morning :smith:[/QUOTE] It's cool.

Custom ordered Macs are generally a rip-off in my opinion, but the entry-level machines offered on the Apple website are pretty reasonably priced. [QUOTE=chrishind10;32237886]Oh but you are getting Apple's excelent after purchase care with it[/QUOTE] Have you had to experience it yourself, or are you just generalising?

I was being serious with that bit.

[QUOTE=chrishind10;32266208]I was being serious with that bit.[/QUOTE] I'm interested, care to elaborate?

Although it does vary from person to person, I have heared some awful horror stories about Apple stores.

Depends on what you need it for. I work on a Mac and use Windows for myself. Since I was forced to work on mac I had many things that I missed, but so far I could find good replacements for the tools you have on windows for my Mac.

Good chance he was 100% correct in some cases, but people will find a way around that like they did most other hardware restrictions.

[QUOTE=chrishind10;32289354]Wait, so who manufacturers CrApples non standard hard drives?[/QUOTE] It's, as far as I know, only present in the new iMacs, so I don't see why a hackintosh should not work.

Biggest issue with buying a Mac is that you get a shitty hardware that costs too much. MacOS on the other hand is quite good, I recommend at least trying it out.
