Way to perpetuate the stereotypes about Mac users knowing nothing about computers. For mac users, it's all about slick advertising and shiny cases. They have no idea what actually makes a computer work.

FYI, the world where your iMac will run Crysis is a world that exists only in your fevered mind. First you are going to need Direct X, and to get that on your Mac, you are going to have "deal with Vista" or XP.

And even if you overcame that obstacle, the iMac is like a golf cart. Good for puttering around the internet, but certainly no match for Crysis.

But hey, at least a lot of people thinks it looks nice. And as a Mac user, that's the key thing, right?]]>Dec 11th 2007 11:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/11/dell-xps-m1730-review-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/11/dell-xps-m1730-review-roundup/Dec 11th 2007 12:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/11/dell-xps-m1730-review-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/11/dell-xps-m1730-review-roundup/
They are LOOKING for ways to make things more expensive.]]>Dec 11th 2007 1:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/11/dell-xps-m1730-review-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/11/dell-xps-m1730-review-roundup/
Where do you get the info that EVERY movie is made on a Mac?

Hollywood isn't cutting big productions on Final Cut. Last time I checked Avid is the industry standard and it can be licensed for mac or PC.

And yeah I'm sure that there are movies out there that where made on Windows. I don't know for a fact that EVERY movie is made on a mac so I guess it was a bit of exageration on my part.]]>Dec 11th 2007 2:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/11/dell-xps-m1730-review-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/11/dell-xps-m1730-review-roundup/
I own two Macs, a Ubuntu machine, and a number of regular computers, including Dells and some we have built.

I'm not speaking out of my ass, I have tried the Crysis demo (YES, ON XP, I NEVER SAID I RAN IT ON OSX, FFS) and it ran at a steady 24-26 frames per second. Of course, I have the higher-end iMac, y'know, the one with the Merom XE.

Vista is a performance killer, that's all I can say. We were discussing Crysis on one of the forums I hang on and this guy only managed to get 15 or so frames per second with his 8800GTX-powered machine. I couldn't believe it either.

Yes, I had the DX10 "hack" (wow, manual settings change, what a hack!) on, but I do have to correct myself however: I was running at 1600 by 1200, not 1920 by 1200. For whatever reason the game wouldn't allow me to set it beyond that.

FUCK OFF.

engadget doesn't need you trolling around all the comments. You don't sound smart or clever. and your arguments don't make sense at all. Are you telling me that your Merom equipped imac (with at most, a 2900XT gpu) can out perform PC's with QX6700's and 8800GTX's? i suppose it can, consiering your merom imac can also outperform the M1730, which has a 8700, c2e, physics processor etc.]]>Dec 11th 2007 6:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/11/dell-xps-m1730-review-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/11/dell-xps-m1730-review-roundup/Poor Dell....]]>Dec 11th 2007 10:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/11/dell-xps-m1730-review-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/11/dell-xps-m1730-review-roundup/Jan 23rd 2008 9:34AM
