[Natsky]

I'm a mac girl. Have just ordered one of the new 27" iMacs.
2.8GHZ Quad core with 16Gb RAM and stupid amounts of real estate...can't wait!

you have got to love a Mac...... using a 2004-5 lamp shade Mac with 10.5.8 OS, JBL speakers, external hard drive, airport, to play music for the house, check e-mails, and recipes when cooking..... as this unit is on the kitchen bench, a must have

Never thought those words would ever pass my lips!

Macs for me for the last 15 years.

Surprised at the ratio in the poll given we are constantly told that macs have <5% of market share...

Probably due to graphics users and photographers being highly represented on this site compared to the "general" computer using population.

We are different ( and better ) than just "ordinary" people.

Now if they could only massage the price of a Mac downwards I could see one here for editing.

come jan 26th i think you will see macs come down further in price, i think it will be a substantial shift in apple positioning especially when you look at what you get for dollars paid on the new 27inch imac i7's.

I've got the 27" duo core! You'll love it

Also have a 13" macbook which was my first foray into mac love ♥

I may go back to PC in the future, but at this stage it seems unlikely

I always wish i'd started with Mac. And love the look, feel and specifications Macbook Pro. Everytime I use a friend's Mac, I'm impressed.

Trouble is, all my software is purchased and licensed for Windows and the cost, time and unfamiliarity with Apple always point me back towards PC.

I am happy with my mac g5 personally I feel mac is better esp with the led screen and at 2 gb it is fast

[MattC]

pc here...

i use a commodore vic20.

Hey - that was my first computer - oh how I miss waiting 15 minutes for the tapes to load up!

My new PC
Intel i5
4 gig ram
1 gig HD
ATI 5770 video card
Samsung 24" monitor
I am now a happy camper!

Another Mac here -

iMac - 20", 2.4GHz, 4GB RAM, 320GB internal HDD.

Thinking I might need to be upgrading soon to the new 27"

[pilling]

The current:

Macbook (Blackbook)
2.16 Ghz Core 2 duo
2Gb Ram
500GB HD
Still 10.4 - don't see the point of 10.5 as 10.4 is doing everything I ask it to so far - haven't bought or needed any new software for at least 18 months!

Dell D430 (Worklaptop)
Core Duo something or other
I don't actually know the rest of the specs - it's not really for anything except spreadsheets and meetings, but it is nice and small - pre-netbook I think.

The departed or sold:

Mac G5 Dual 2.0 Ghz

15" Powerbook G4 1.67 Ghz. I LOVED this machine and I was pretty cut up that it died on me while travelling (retained all photos through the wonders of backing up to iPod), maybe one day I'll get another powerbook, but my wife keeps reminding me that I really don't NEEEED more power... :P

[peterking]

iMac 27in 3.06Ghz Intel C2D 4Gb Ram
Macbook 13"
PC P4 3Ghz 2Gb Ram
Changed to mac late last year as the PC was not doing the video I wanted and now find the mac better for imaging.
Still learning on the mac.

i've just gone over to mac bought a secondhand 15inch macbook pro pretty much brand new (he decided he wantd a 13) 2.66 dual core 4gig ram 320gig HD reasonably happy with it just getting used to how everything is slightly different

[dejavu]

I started out running Windows NT then eventually moved to Linux on an IBM ThinkPad.

Now I use a Macbook Pro 17", the power of Unix with prettier packaging and less hassles with updates and drivers. I am a big Mac fan now, but that partially has to do with my line of work and what I do, some of which is difficult on a PC/Windows. On the other hand, if you are in business and have to handle lots of business document types, then Mac might not be so convenient.

If I am to buy another computer to replace my Macbook Pro, I would buy another Macbook Pro.

[jprobertson]

i did a full mac upgrade the other week, my old system was a custom PC built around a 2.66ghz core2 duo with 4gb ram and a radeon 3750, with a 320gb, 1TB and 1.5TB of internal storage.

my current mac line up is the stock MacbookPro 13" and the stock 27" iMac. the 1TB and 1.5TB drives are going into external enclosures and sitting attatched to the iMac until i can get a NAS server.

haven't recieved the iMac yet (on backorder), but i'm loving the macbook pro. so much faster than the windows 7 box.

[Xenedis]

After 17 years of DOS/Windows, I moved to a Mac in 2009.

I like my Mac (MacBook Pro 17"), and don't see myself moving back.

For the type of computer user I am, though, it doesn't make a huge difference. I wanted something different, and things do integrate very nicely.

The hardware is expensive, but sleek and well-designed.

Currently a tiring 4 yr old Dell Inspiron 9300. 1gb ram, 60gb HDD, 1.73 GHz cpu and a cpouple of external drives. Sqeezing as much as I can out of it as I save for my soon to purchase iMac - another convert I am afraid.
