A PC is a tool, and not a very good one but at least they're not overprice (Apple I'm looking at you!)

You're paying for engineering costs and materials, for the iMac and the Air mostly, but the others are pretty well made too. Getting a full i7 rig plus monitor to fit in a case less than half the thickness of your everyday LCD, and having it not overheat constantly is HARD.

I'm not a mac fan in any stretch of the imagination but I do have to agree with you. Macs are well made, and well supported. I'd never buy one, but I don't think they are overpriced.
Oh yeah?!?
Well your stupid bit is set,

Too much price for that engineers and materials, if not, see any hackintosh specs and prices.

An i7 on a airmac... are you sure?

Really don't see the point in all these recent and over the years. Amiga rulez. windows sucks etc etc on infintium.
All Hardware and software has its place somewhere and everyone has different prefences.
No one is wrong, no one is right. Its all down to personal taste.
Same goes for music

I totally agree:)
cough..Amiga still RuLeZ:razz:

Well if you think needing 1500mhz and 2gb of RAM for a simple GUI to launch tasks is OK then you are welcome to post XP Microsoft shite inflicted on poor saps.
 
A PC is a tool, and not a very good one but at least they're not overprice (Apple I'm looking at you!) but it is far from elegant.....put it this way....if you have a blunt chainsaw.....and attach a 2000bhp turbo charged engine to it...it will eventually cut a tree down....get my drift ;)
 
The Amiga was elegant in every way, THIS is why people lament its demise and still have affection for it to this day. There's a difference between being a fanboy and understanding what should be sufficient to run a reasonable OS/what is bloatware plain and simple :)

Not defending Xp, even though lets be honest, it pisses all over amigsoS and if you take the blinkers off is a very good OS.  I aminly use ubuntu these days so ....
 
PC hardware is a million miles supperior to our beloved amigas, if you cant see that , then sorry but you are being mad

Why should it be better.   Nobody codes with storage/speed/ram in mind, because hardware is so cheap.  If you dont like windows use something else.  There are choices , but it all runs on the same hardware

I was actually on about the iMac. The air will have been hard to design too. My point is that it takes $$$$$ to make that case design work, let alone at the level of build quality it has.

Since there are so many who do not care about the Amiga here, I think that i have to say something about it:

 =http://www.pouet.net/prodlist.php?platform[]=Amiga+AGA&order=&x=27&y=10&page=1&order


As someone once pointed out to me they are all PCs. Others can comment on brands, makes, types etc but as to the Amiga, well, [ deep sigh ] I recall those famous words  ' A thing of beauty is a joy for ever '. You never have to convince a true Amiga person the truth in that statement, so I wouldn't worry.

There was only ever really one Personal Computer.....

' The Amiga '.... The rest are just so impersonal

what do you mean by that? how could windows "be a lot lot better than it is"? m$ no longer has a monopoly that is why they came out with windows 7 and are advertizing it as they are. they realize they needed a better product to stop thier losses to mac and linux. and 7 is a fantastic os. as efficient and quick as xp and as pretty as vista.
 
i do like (perfer) an all up os3.9 or aros install to windows of any vintage but if you want 3d games, real 3d games, COD, bioshock2, batman arkham asylam, etc. etc. etc. you need windows, not mac, not linux, not amiga :(

Wine will play modern warfare 1 , though not tried it, but there is an installer on the play on linux program.
 
To be honest got fed up of spending hundreds upgrading my pc all the time to have the best looking games.  Xbox 360 so much easier andd wuicker to switch on :)

Quake 4 and Quakewars runs great on linux. Maybe those are fake 3D games?

And why spend 800 dollars on a gaming PC plus cost of OS when a 360 elite is 299 and has more games for it?

Heck, for the cost of an amped up gaming PC, you can get a PS3 AND a wii on top.

We've got a Wii downstairs and have done since christmas. It got turned on once to make sure it works and that was it. There's nothing interesting out there for it. We considered the PS3 too, but we already have a megadrive stand and didn't need another.
