ELBdelorean 2 Report post Posted May 27, 2009 You're only supposed to upgrade the RAM on the iMac. Upgrading the HDD or anything else voids the warrant, no? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daangelo29 5 Report post Posted June 1, 2009 Did I mention, Vista for some reason switched the laptop's wi-fi filter to 801.11a only? HOW. THE. HELL. DID. IT. DO. THAT without having me knowing? LOL I never encountered that problem before. The same bad "anti-PC" omen you've been talking about, perhaps? And yeaaaaah... I pretty much think it's more functional than a PC at this point. Haven't I told you guys a Mac IS also a PC? PC (personal computer) by definition is "any general-purpose computer whose size, capabilities, and original sales price make it useful for individuals, and which is intended to be operated directly by an end user, with no intervening computer operator". iProton, don't argue that it isn't one. Apple Computers have been calling the Mac "their own unique brand of PC" for years now. And those Mac VS. PC ads you're seeing in the net is actually the Mac versus "the overly complex or unreliable PCs", not all of the PCs in general. This has been an advertising practice of Apple since, and I find it funny that you guys say Mac is not a PC. Mac is a computer brand, not a type of computer. If you still can't admit the Mac IS a PC, look here to see Apple itself saying it is in big letters: http://www.apple.com/getamac/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ELBdelorean 2 Report post Posted June 1, 2009 I know Macs ARE PCs. But, what are we gonna call the...other PCs. Dells? HPs? eMachines...s? People just call PCs PCs because it's easier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PCs (excluding Macs) don't have a very specific brand name. Since it is customizable, it's hard to say what brand name it really is. The PC would likely be named after the brand of the motherboard itself. In the Mac VS. PC advertisement, Apple doesn't really refer to all PCs. Just the not so user-friendly and complex PCs. If you prefer a user-friendly and easy-to-use PC more, Mac for the win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
