    ARR and Mac

    I am torn between buying the latest 27' iMac vs the 15.4' Macbook pro. I already have the previous generation 27' iMac so if I buy the Macbook Pro, can I use the 27' iMac as my monitor?

    Can anyone give me some advice? As the new generation macs don't come with a dvd drive, anyone knows how to install windows on it?

    I would personally spend half the money for a laptop with better specs, or spend the same amount for a PC that will leave any mac in the dust.

    Buy the one that costs the most. Specs don't matter with Apple, just cost.

    Two things I can tell you being a Mac owner who plays on a iMac and a retina pro.

    You can download windows and put it on a USB drive and install it this way or you can get a USB DVD drive and use that. I downloaded windows and bootcamp did the rest for me.

    Forgot to add. If you buy this at a Mac store and have your copy of windows. You can have it installed at the store before you leave they should do this for you for free ok the day of purchase

    Seriously someone tell me what's so great about macs, they are freeBSD with a GUI anyone with half a knowledge of linux can make up, with inferior hardware and a marked up price.

    What do you get when buying a mac except an OS that should be free with poor hardware compared to a PC for the price?
