Both of the links I have given show that the Mac OS is faster than PC. If you challenge their criteria, that is fine with me. I'm not here to convert anyone. It sounds like you enjoy a challenge. Apple will let you down every time if you are looking for a challenge.

Many thanks to all who contributed to the thread. Hope its helpful to others also.

Steve, you and SF were pretty convincing and I was pretty close to the purchase of the HP I listed before. I stopped in today and the $1300 iMac was on for $1149 plus free $100 set up.

Was just to hard to to say no. No particular reason. Just appealed to me and what I need.

Now to figure it out and get things transfered. Grabbed a 4g Flashdrive.

You would have been happy with either choice. Enjoy your new computer.

Steve. If you remember back a page or two, the iMac was in the equasion as the only alternative to the larger laptops. Thats why SF, linked the Dell desktop in one post.

Although not take anywhere portable like a laptop, you can pick it up and sit it any place in the house with only a power cord to plug in and very light.

FWIW, I am NOT, one of those who will say a product is great just because I bought or own one. And speaking in general here, not just computers, which are not my best subject. So if it does not live up to the hype, I will say so. And I have owned 5 previous pc desktops to have some comparison with.

So I have 14 days to purchase extended warrenty. 4yrs. @ $300. You guys still figure most problems are in the 1st. yr. anyways.

I would find out what the cost to replace a screen is on it.. if it is way more than the insurance the get the insurance.. after all the screen isn't the magical apple product that will never break down just kidding..seriously though being a all in one like a lap top is , I would very seriously concider the extended warenty. there are some other benifits to FS watenties also like a preformance guarentee ect.. you never know if you are going to get a power surge or what ever.

Extended warranties are pretty much established as a rip off and nothing but profit for the seller like Future Shop. Usually if something is going to go wrong it will happen in the first year in which case FS just has it fixed under the manufacturers warranty. Costs them nothing. I would pass or buy Applecare from Apple itself if you really want an extended warranty.
