    Having issues with my pc as it isn't picking up the ADSL wireless connection. How easily is the iMac in connecting to a wireless connection.

    Thinking of buying the imac 21.5 this weekend but want to make sure it will connect well with my wireless ADSL 2+ modem.

    I use a Mac Pro quad core 2.8, with 8GB of RAM and a bit under 3TB of internal disk storage, which includes an Intel 160GB SSD as a boot drive. It has a GeForce GTX 285 which drives an Eizo CG241W and a Dell 2408. It's a few years old now and was the entry level pro desktop of its day, but it's still very fast and holds its value well. I have a few other Macs, including a Mac Mini Server & another Mini & some portables that are used for for work, but the Pro is what I use mainly. Looking forward to getting an iPad.

    I have a PC:

    Dell Studio 16 Core2Duo 2.54Ghz 4GB Ram DDR3 500gb HD RGBLED Screen
    It runs Photoshop CS3 and various other things pretty nicely.

    I'm not a real computer buff though and I've forgotten anything else I should mention

    Need another radio button, I have both. An early Blue Imac with 192mb ram that I am able to 10.3 on, a Mac G4 dual 867hz processor and a PC Windows 7 based Acer laptop.

    The Imac is only used by SWMBO and is ready for the scrap as it is two slow, still, it has earnt it's keep over the years.

    The G4 is the work horse now coupled with a 20 inch flat Mac screen. The Acer is the portable option.

    Mac all the way. Since i went Apple a few years ago I never want to own a windows PC ever, ever again. I have a 17" Macbook Pro 2.5 ghz core 2 duo with 2gb ram. 27" imac will be my next one when this one dies.

    I have a Dell notebook

    3GB ram, 300GB HDD, 2.2GHz running Windows Vista Premium.

    It's the third Dell laptop I have owned and will be the last. Hard Drive has failed twice (first time was within 2 weeks of owning it!), and we recently had to have the motherboard and screen replaced. If we didn't get the extended warranty as a bonus when ordering, it would have been replaced after a year. Funnily enough, it was the first time we decided to spend the extra money on better specs when buying two years ago instead of buying just the basic model - so very frustrating. In saying that, when it works well, we have been very happy - it's just unreliable.

    Will be converting to MAC in the next 6-12 months depending on finances and how much camera gear I buy

    Waiting for the same thing myself, I'm still on the fence about Mac & PC since the one piece of software that is essential to my work only runs on Windows.

    Running Windows on a Mac is a pretty simple matter and you can even choose from a number of different ways of doing it. I use VMWare Fusion, which runs Windows within a virtual machine. Works fine for the odd time I have to use it, but some things work better when the machine is actually booted into Windows. This can be done by installing Bootcamp which comes on every Mac's installer disks.

    After getting sick and tired of continual updates for software, hardware, security and all and have a couple of laptops crash within a couple of weeks last November I changed to Macs. Absolutely love the speed, security and reliability. First bought a 17" Macbook Pro then bought my partner a Macbook Air which she loves. I still have a couple of pc's for dedicated software for work that I only pull out whenever I have no choice. My business runs on Macs and I would never go back.
