Randall Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Anyone planning on doing so? I usually wait to see if there are any bugs myself. Interesting topic here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H8tank Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Amazing...all those years mac swore the mac was faster or at least as fast as PC's. Now the mac basically IS a pc, and it's 4-5 times faster than a mac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonorator Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 i would definitely wait 6-12 months to let the bugs shake out and also for Apple to release the next gen of the machines. there's just too much that has changed to take the plunge right now. re: the speed, it's the elegance of the operating system that Apple provides that enables the machine to run at top speed.
