(Can't bring myself to get rid of an old G4 that I modded into a huge ATX Thermaltake tower.) But for a gamer in the 21st century thus far, I cannot in good conscience recommend a Mac to anyone. I learned a lot more about computers once I got my first Mac and it still has a special place for me. I well know the pride involved in just having a different computer. Or I could just buy a Windows PC and save myself a shit load of chew.įor the record, I'm a recovering Mac user, and in fact it wasn't that long ago that the Mac was my sole computer platform. If you were only after speed, something I don't think you were referring to, you can easily get that with a Linux install, at the expense of a lot of driver/peripheral functionality obviously.Īnd price was definitely in his equation. The shit load of features that you get with any pc and its drivers, its marketed peripherals (and their resultant drivers), the game library and loads of other utilities available to increase your usability and enjoyment of that experience is in my mind, and in the mind of anyone I believe visits this site regularly, a very good measure of equipment agility indeed. You're pegging running MOSX as the ultimate in agility. Then why are you posting? Don't you know where you are?Īs for ultimate agility: building a tower that is compatible with OS X I'm not discussing gaming as a motivation.
