    We have the iMac, 27" I believe, and like it

    it's plenty fast for everything we do

    no video editing, not a ton of music or anything

    probably overpriced but it really is a solid computer

            Stay away from proprietary anything, software/hardware. Build your own PC is the best way, install Linux (my recommendation is Mint), Apple would be the worst choice, best of luck.

            Also, stay away from Toshiba, they are living off reputation from the past, no good today, this is from personal experience. According to research, Sony no good either.

                mostly price... but also proprietary SW/HW. Leaves you fewer all around options. Need a bigger monitor or a printer? A certain amount of Apple Compatibility req'd.

                    Ya they're def overpiced. we love our iMac but we paid for it. I don't know anything about building PC's and guess at the time I wasn't wanting to put int he time to learn, only to build a piece of shit. So Ido t mind over paying for certain things sometimes.

                    Any good sites that teach idiots how to build their own pc?

                      Toms hardware has a good forum to browse on this topic. Go there and use their search function.

                        Just go into Best Buy and they can give you an education and you can play with them and see what fits your needs and budget. Then go home and check pricing out. They are all comparable and prices have come down tremendously. Still like Dell's but hate the new windows version. Apple is awesome and has great support. PC magazine great resource that reviews all the technology. I use my iPad for everyday use and carry it around, the best!

                            If you go apple you're a penetrating square trying to look hip.

                            Build your won, or at worst get a custom build, and run linux mint. Only issue with linux is compatibility problems, stay clear of the iphone.

                              You didn't just overpay, you got ass raped. Getting a custom build would have been better.

                                  No one's going to penetrate you cause you're an apple user except Steve Jobs.

                                    I guess MILLIONS of happy and satisfied customers beg to differ.

                                      And millions of North Koreans think they are well governed.

                                      There's lots of morons in the world, what's your point?

                                        Point is I PHONE is great! So is all the Apple products and they have great customer service. Droids, and other phones SUCK. That's the point, and who FUKING cares about building a PC. Can buy one for 500 and last long time and then you are done.

                                          Iphone 7 is likely going to be released in the fall

                                          Apparently it's going to have 2gb RAM processor and a dual lense camera with 21megapixel

                                          Im due for an upgrade in April and planned on getting the 6 plus but may have to wait

                                              The iphone 6 is an over marketed lemon but if you must have an iphone you can work around it or just run windows.
