I've had very good luck with the HP Pavilian series laptops, one Vista,
one Win 7. I suppose now that I said that this one will freeze up and
die. I've had it since 2009 and used it extensively everyday at the
guitar shop until about a year ago when I brought it home. I keep the
Win 7 in reserve and am also getting familiar with the iMac.
Anything an Apple product does better than a Windows based product?
Seems to me the only reason for Apple is the "precious" factor.
I'm a gamer, so I never considered one.
The display on the new iMac is nice, although I wish there was a way to
turn down the overall color drive. There's a display "calibrations"
procedure that I've done but it doesn't allow you to simply turn down
the color. Some websites, like Yahoo's homepage, is just way too
overly saturated, color-wise.
Other than that, I'd say the iMac is well built but so far does not
offer any special features or capabilities that I can't do on a Windows
machine. I use the Windows laptop 90 percent of the time and use the
iMac only for off-line stuff like my mini recording studio.
You couldn't find a setting you liked in Calibration Assistant or
whatever it is called under preferences, display, color? I did that once
a few years ago and toned everything down a tad.
