I'm thinking of getting one if i get given this office job because my laptop is old and crap and i've been wanting a desktop for a while. Because they're more prectical for me. My cousins have got one and its soooo nice. Just wondering if they're decent computers?

I have to say I've always prefered using a Mac.
As for Mac funny error messages, there's plenty!
Well then go for a Mac, easy to use and they look damn good...
A lot of PC keyboards are still white anyway...
If you clean it regulary they don't get that dirty...
Well then don't you pay a hefty premium for a mac?
Coding what tho?
i probably won't even buy a brand new one
I can't believe my Dad put off buying one due to my exes advice!!!
He's had it for months now and he's had no problems with it whatsoever whereas with the other computers we had, we had tonnes.
these?
Or these?
I probably wouldn't have one myself, mainly because I've taught myself so much on Windows computers since I was 10... I can't fully get to grips with the Mac. But I would definetely recommend them if you're considering it, they're really nice and easy to use as longas you don't attempt anything too techical without knowing what you're doing (which it doesn't sound like you will).
I get in a stress doing anything other than using the internet on there, but I like my Windows XP so...
I want an apple now.
Because, as we all know, OSX is derived from FreeBSD...
Right, so why dismiss it? When using a computer for mundane tasks, what is wrong with suggesting the OP goes for a comfortable mouse and keyboard, and switches to an OS other than Microsoft?
Nobody needs to use a Mac for browsing the web and stuff. The two OS's I suggested are pretty damned easy to learn to use for web-browsing and whatnot - and it'd be a heap cheaper than splashing out on a Mac. Plus the OP could have their choice of mouse and keyboard - Apple make some ergonomically nice gear, but you can almost certainly find something more comfortable for you individually if you have a look...
