Thoughts on playing on a MAC...
So my Wife and I are looking to upgrade to a new computer and she has her heart set on getting an IMac... I tend to only buy the top of the line products and was curious if anyone in the gaming community could comment on how PC games play on them if anyone here has experience with gaming on a Mac?
My current rig is starting to show its age after 5 years of use.
Thoughts on playing on a MAC...
Why does she want an imac? Most people get macs because it's trendy. Macs are great at photo/video creation, editing, displaying and serving. They are simple to use because your options are severly limited.
As for gaming, macs do have games but they are mostly the same games that you can play on your phone or tablet. As for more intensive games, very few are converted for mac and when they are it usually happens months even years after the game is no longer popular anymore.
If you are willing to over pay for a $3000 mac why not split it and get a used low priced mac for the wife and get yourself a descent gaming pc.
what will be interesting in a couple of months is will your wife continue to use her mac or will she migrate back to using your pc. My wife did the same thing. She wanted a mac so I got her one, and then she kept using my computer. The only thing she uses mac for is to play music (its a $3000 juke box!)
