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.
I've gone through the calibration two or three times and also tried
the
other RGB standard options. It calibrates the black, etc. but there is
no apparent way to simply turn the color drive down overall. There
probably isn't on a Windows machine either but the Windows machines
don't produce as vibrant a display as the iMac.
It seems to me there were some downloadable presets you could use, but
this is a five year old memory of something I didn't do, so I'm not
sure.
Flip me your email address and I'll send you back the location of a
site
that has first-rate, free tech help. harry.krause@gmail et cetera
Gee, a tech help site is that private?
It's not private, but I doubt the sysops there want to encourage
posters like some of the snarky assholes here, since their presence
would create extra work. I wouldn't want to see a plethora of posters
there whose only function is to insult the family members of other
posters, eh.
IOW - he doesn't want to be exposed in a message board as the
narcissistic tax cheat that he is.
