Which do you guys think is better, apple or dell. For me Dell is better. Apple says it is better for gaming, and all that stuff, but I am in doubt, and that price tag is kinda disturbing. Also apple is kind confusing, and almost none of my stuff works with it. Have any of you noticed that ipod's don't really like any computers but mac's? Some people say mac's don't get viruses, and my theory is that no one bothers to create a virus for apple computers. I bet some of apple's workers use Dell computers, and paid for them.
I've run AHII on both - indeed, recently transitioned over to a Mac for game play. I'd say go Mac. My Mini - which was only about $900 sans accessories, handled the update with no issues. Generally, I've found it to be a rocking little machine with fabulous graphics capabilities.
The only downside: You need to run Bootcamp with AHII. This enables you to set up a windows partition on the Mac. You then have to load windows (your choice what level) to that partition and it will have all the problems Windows normally has. As for compatibility issues with Windows SW, there are none, provided you run a Windows partition. I also run a Virtual Machine partition with windows because that's a way to run windows in the Mac environment itself. However, you DO NOT want to run AHII on VMWare.
I've had at least 1 Mac (right now 2) and typically anywhere from 1 to 5 PCs in the house (differing brands, desktops & laptops) at any given time over the last two decades and have always found that Macs to be better (more reliable, more friendly), though at a cost.
