Count me in.
I use a 27" iMac quad core i5 in my office, and a macbook pro at home.
The macbook pro has a 256GB SSD drive and that really makes a difference. It is screaming fast!Bjoernar
Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years....

I have a Macbook Air and finally switched my wife to a Mac too. She doesn't even go near the PC (paper weight).
I will be getting a new desktop soon (iMac perhaps) and maybe a macbook pro

I have a PC running iAtkos ( have an OSX License but PC Hardware) but I also run Linux and Windows since I need to support all 3 platforms for the company I work for. Really besides OSX the hardware on Mac and PC is not much different anymore since they are all using the same processor cores. Also Mac is just as prone to attack as Windows there was just a group that won an new Macbook by using a zero day issue in safari to gain control

make sure to keep your antivirus and spyware applications updated on Mac just as much as you do on Windows.

I picked up a white MacBook years back when they first came out.
5 years later all I've done is upgrade the ram and it's still in perfect running order and works way faster than any of my friends laptops that a years newer.
I might just get myself a new MacBook pro next year they look pretty.Shaving_story on Instagram

My First Mac was a Mac SE. I have used primarily Macs at work since 1987. I ran a Chameleon based Hacintosh for a bit on my main PC. Currently running a MacBook Pro 13" and My wife is on an iMac 24". I still mainly use my Win7PC however.

I'm a latecomer to computers, 1995 IIRC, but started with a 386 PC for a few months then various PPC Macs running OS 7 & upwards. Still using an older 2005 Powerbook on OSX 10.4. Haven't updated as still have software requiring Classic.

I am and love it. I have an IMac a lot like yours.
Did you get Applecare when you purchased your Mac? If not, get it pronto. I had a complete hardrive failure a couple of weeks ago. I was able to get it replaced by an authorized Apple service agent at no charge."Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter." Mark Twain

Congrats for making the switch. I've been using macs for 5 years. I'm currently using a quad-core i7 Macbook pro, with the faster hard drive (7200 rpm, 500 gigs) and 4 gigs of RAM

Not only am I a Mac user, but I'm a lifelong mac user. I owned and Apple II in the 1970's. I even went to the US Festival.
