If so, thoughts? I was impressed by the new Macbook Pro and iOS 6 (particularly seeing as Siri is getting updated so it works the way it should in the UK), however I was thoroughly disappointed by the lack of new iMacs. I've been waiting ages for WWDC because i've been saving for an iMac and was waiting for the new ones to be released. But there's still 4 days left, so I have my fingers crossed.

Anyway, i'm rambling. Any thoughts on the keynote, anyone?
 
Haha, i've been a PC user my whole life, but only because I can't afford a Mac right now. I use Macs in school and am an iPhone user, so I think it just makes sense to get one because i'm a Media Studies student and plan to do film in Uni, and everybody knows that Macs are infinitely better for video editing. In my opinion, they're better computers, but I can see why people still use PCs.
 
No, I dont watch it, no Idea what it is actually, But I saw you were talking about Macs and PC?

I have a Macbook Pro, a new one actually, go it about 2 months ago..?

I love it, so easy to use, has everything I need on it, super fast and doesn't get any viruses.. at ALL.
Its good fo rme though because I use my camera for Kayaking, and what-not so its got good programs for it..

And for gaming, I have Star wars KOTOR and Civ 5 on it, both really easy games to use on Mac.. Plus I have an 360 for my gaming needs..

So yeah, Macs are awesome, and people who tend to dislike them are people who don't want to conform or what-not. (Hence I used the word "TEND" to dislike them..)
 
When I say it sucks for gaming I don't mean it lacks the hardware to run them, but you've got to luck out and hope the game is Mac compatible. You'll ver often find "How the ass do I get this to work on Mac?"-type threads on the official forum for some game.

Yeah I know exactly what you mean, games that I want to be on Mac, aren't and those that are on Mac are pretty **** anyway.. but KOTOR is awesome!

Obviously when you're buying a laptop/Computer you're buying it for yourself/for a certain need. So whatever the need is, then im sure you can be the judge of what will be better for you or not..

WWDC stands for Worldwide Developers Conference, it's this big week long conference that Apple holds every year and they always release and announce new products at it.

And you're SO lucky to have a MacBook Pro! As I said, i'm saving up for a new iMac (which, according to rumours, will be out by the end of the year :D), and I literally can't wait to get my hands on it.

I've heard people say that Macs are terrible for gaming, so it actually surprised me that you mentioned it. I was tempted to get Diablo 3 for the Mac when I get it, but was told it'd probably be better on PC (if I get it at all that is :L).

But yeah, i'm glad to see a Mac-lover here! Most people are complete PC Nazis when it comes to this discussion :L.

Agai they not exactly horrible for gaming, but you can't always count on there being a Mac version.

Hmm, that's true. Although it seems that they're maybe starting to bring more games to Mac, I mean The Elder Scrolls Online is coming to Mac as well as PC.

Ohhhh riiight, I think I remember the one from last year actually..

What is the iMac? Like a Laptop? orrrr? And whats so great about it?

Yeah I got my laptop for my 21st, my family all chipped in for it, very happy with it! and got a good price..
Yeah gaming is average on Mac, just because games are hard to find for it, especially games yu want on it. But if you do get games for it, watch out for them, like controls wise, if you get a 1st person shooter, it'll probably be very crap on the Mac, but if you get like a God mode game, they run good with the Mac layout, annnnd if you want, you can just get a USB/Wireless mouse anyway..

Hah, yeeeah, I havent really mentioned I have a Mac around here, I wanna keep a low profile, now you have revealed the truth behind me! I wonder f they will torture me and play twisted games with my mind.. :D

Do you like Star Wars? Considering you like RPGs, I assume.. Then you should definitely try KOTOR, or wait til you get yah iMac and get it on that! :)

An iMac is just the desktop version of the MacBook, but it's an all-in-one, so it looks like you're just getting a monitor, but everything's packed inside it :).

And sorry for outing you! But it's alright, i'll stick up for you, i've always preferred Macs :P.

I'm ashamed to say that i've only seen two of the Star Wars movies, BUT I really enjoyed them and do plan on watching the rest, just haven't gotten around to it yet :L. And which one is KOTOR, is that the MMO one? I think i've seen it somewhere, I know they played a Star Wars game on The Big Bang Theory (don't know if you watch that, but I love it! :L).

Ohhhh, We have one of those back home, well If the iMac isnt released yet, it obviously wont be that, but something similar, a computer (Mac) but its just the monitor and everything else in it too. Its awesome..

Nawwwh how sweet of you! They always pick on me, and those damn Crows..

Hmm.. Atleast you started that sentence with "I am ashamed to say" ill let you off.. Even though the new-er ones suck, you should still see them, just so you know the whooooole jist of it..

Ahhh MMO? Stands for what? Im retarded in internetztalk.. haha, but I think it is.
And Big Bang theory is awesome.

I wanna get all the seasons, but only have the 1st and been watching odd episodes on TV..
