If anyone has iMac feedback, I would LOVE to hear it.

Thanks much.

I'm on a tower now, but have owned an iMac in the past. The one thing I do not like about an iMac is that both monitor and CPU are housed in the same box which is both a blessing and a pain. If one goes out you have to take the whole mess into a repair shop. However it does take up less footprint on your desk.

I personally would take a Mac Mini over an iMac unless you are going to be doing more than e-mail, posting, surfing, routine word processing and spread sheets in which case you should be looking at a tower anyway.

Otherwise you'll pry my Mac from my cold dead fingers. It is more stable and problem free than any Windows box.

OI - I really do not know much of what I am talking about, but from what I am seeing the tablets are going to devour phones and notebooks, if not laptops - in a roundabout way.

They will indeed hurt laptop sales, but not phones and not desktops. Smart phones will be the biggest platform for mobile computing in the world, with tablets being far behind, while desktops will continue to be the low cost, fast, expandable solution for businesses and homes. Notebooks will still survive I think as a mobile desktop replacement, but the lighter versions will die out due to competition from tablets.

Thanks much for all the thoughts, opinions, advice, and hints here.

ubuntu is the only other OS not mentioned, that I know of.

And their price (free) is very do-able.

Personally, I think we are going to see a convergence between tablets and phones. As it stands now I don't use a cellphone for two reasons:

1. It is an unnecessary luxury and I would rather spend the money elsewhere.

2. I refuse to put a microwave emitter/receiver next to my head. Too many links showing up cancers and other problems. The human body is not designed as a microwave friendly interface.

What I expect to see happen is a little larger tablet with a slimline telephone style hand piece (wire connected) that melds right into the tablet and/or a connection port for a headset, and probably both.
