Macs & PCs [View All]

[carrowsboy]

Longtime PC user here, haven't used a Mac in over a decade.

I'm shopping for a new desktop & my friend highly recommended an iMac saying they were more user friendly for what I wanted to do (internet, CD/DVD burning).

I recently bought a Dell Inspiron 8600 and am sending it back. Didn't even have it 3 days and there were huge problems. Disc drive doesn't work, screen freezes up, etc.

My friend asked "if you are spending so much money, then just buy a Mac. It is so much better and easier to use."

My response was that I really don't know that much about them, or even anyone who uses them. Everyone I have asked about their Mac or their friends' Mac raves about them.

So what am I missing out on? What are your thoughts?
