These days Apple no longer have a performance leap over windows pc and with a possible Windows 8 release next year it seems Microsoft would be the performance leader. It also possible possible to hack a PC to dual boot Apple OS so the argument about which is better is now pretty much irrelevant. I just feel sorry for the Apple fans who think they are getting something special but actually they are overpriced nicely designed products. At least I'm not exploited for my lack of ignorance by the Apple corporation.


@Otta,

For around ?500 you can pick up a not bad system, Intel i5's, and certainly beats the HP crap using the i3 processor. But I guess you may want to pay just little bit more for something that looks nicer.

Still arguing and bitching on here, will never change.>:D<


Otta, just check the vouchers are still valid, you should be able to get them extended. Just been given a load and they last about a year and a half.


If your daughter is going to bash about on this, i would go for a cheaper option as in the pc, you can always replace the plug in keyboard. Cheaper to fix also. I use both mac and pc. The argument between people for mac vs pc will continue always.

ROFLMFAO (sorry to lower the "tone"!) @ "Hifi quality"


Oh dear I've got a stitch!

So you're all set.


You've got your cassette deck with 'feather touch' buttons, Dolby HX-Pro and pointlessly slow eject mechanism.


The speakers are on acoustically treated stands, placed at optimum stereo separation.


You've got your gold-plated leads and your cables have less oxygen (or something) in them than the other ones you could have bought (or is it more..? whatever..)



So all that remains is to kick your loafers off, slip REO Speedwagon on and crank that mutha all the way up to '4'.

The main reason for building a PC is so that I can tick all my boxes for my requirements. For example, the fans must be whisper quiet, the computer must be fast with no lagging, powerful PC performance that is suited to my needs, compact system, quality monitor, and above all a stylish system that will make an Apple Imac look like an overprice plastic junk.


Unfortunately, you're not going to get a computer which tick all of the boxes if you buy one from a PC vendor unless you pay an extortionate amount of money like you do with Apple products.


So Otta, the choice is yours as it's your money and you may have to make a number of compromises before you buy one. With the number of don't know any better people starting to appear on this thread I think it's time for me to better spend my time looking for my ideal PC speakers and PC sound system.

I do like a nice stylish PC.

    • I know the couple you mean, and she has always been friendly and smiley when delivering to me, but obviously in a hurry, for all the reasons outlined in the thread. My gate is always open, however (unless someone coming to the house closes it when they leave). I can't see the point of gates that have to be opened and shut again every time someone comes to the house. It just seems a waste of time, and it's annoying if you are carrying stuff. And a closed gate  conveys a sort of "my house is my fortress" feel. To me, anyway.
    • Thanks for posting this. Really interesting. It would be good if you added a star rating, so that it was easier to do comparisons / see what your top recommendations are. Great blog though!
    • Hi, Just a quick note to say it's six months since I launched Eats Dulwich. In that time I've reviewed 28 restaurants. Usually four or five a month except for a month when I came down with gout, which I guess is an occupational hazard. Don't say I don't suffer for my art. Early on someone – Sue, I think – asked me what I'm going to do when I've reviewed every restaurant in East Dulwich. I'm nowhere near that point, but what I have found is that a lot of new openings have tended to be in Rye Lane, so the site has expanded to cover SE15, hence the slight change of name (still haven't had any cease and desist letters from anything with a similar name).  Anyway, the site is still free, it would be great if as many readers as possible here can subscribe so that they automatically get new posts (when you try to subscribe the default might be paid subs but that's down to Substack, just tick the free option instead) as I don't post everything on EDF. Obviously you can get reviews elsewhere if you want, but I think this is the only proper site for local East Dulwich people written by a local East Dulwich person. If you like eating out please have a read. And if there are other places you think I should visit please mention them below and i'll do my best to try them.

    • Can you explain what your point was, then? Because it isn't clear to me. No. Perhaps you could provide a link and explain its relevance? That would be helpful     Those figures suggest that over 10,000,000 voters were not "rejecting a far left party."
