Are you 15 and using your Dad's computer to play video games?
>>
>>55056199
actually a 27 inch 5k imac is a really good deal, especially with a 120gb ssd, and running mac osx. plus you can't really beat that design. his desk space is going to be so much nicer. or you can, you know, keep being that neet who cramps his dad's style.

when you get older, and more mature, you start to appreciate a e s t h e t i c s and good design more. and you realize that yeah, having nice things is good.
>>
I don't think that your dad is buying a computer to play CSGO or Minecraft or whatever the hell 12 year olds are into. That said, convince him to buy a second hand G5 iMac. They are lower spec etc. but are like £50 on ebay and are pretty much still fine to use.
>>

Lying to your parents is bad, anon.
>>
>>55056255
Your dad sounds like he's technologically literate enough to know what he wants, let him buy what he fucking wants you aren't his god damn dad.
>>
>>55056271
it's a good deal. 5k screen is fucking goat. the other components are really good too.

the entire os is really good. and yeah, it sounds like you could build a better system on paper, and install linux on it, or hackintosh, but, and here's where you won't believe me, but the mac os on mac hardware is much faster than slightly better hardware running windows

ran prime95 on that shit yesterday in the apple store and wow.

>>55056290
He will get fuck all for it. Its used and some of that stuff is terrible.
$200 if that
>>
Why would you give a shit about what your father use? If he wants to use Apple shit, let him.
It's not like he'll come to your house , dump your computer and force you to use OSX.
>>
>>55056293
I kinda doubt his dad would mind tbqh. Most people buying iMacs are going to be playing music or using iMovie or some crap or browsing the internet.
>>
everyone ITT must realize how much of a faggot they are for caring what other people buy or dont buy
>>
Mac's tend to be better for old folks because they're simple to use and they can't fuck them up.

Stop being a faggot OP and let your dad spend his money how he wants.

>>55056199
>how do i convince him not to?
Figure out what he wants to do with his computer. Likely it is simple pc stuff that can be done on any $500 mid-power system and do it better than the imac. Then it will probably come down to he wants one that looks better. Usually I ask who are you going to show it off to? No one?

Most software and hardware made in the past six years support only Intel Macs.

If you buy a new camera, you won't be able to use it on a PPC Mac.

If you want to use any version of Firefox or Spotify after 2011, you can't run it on a PPC Mac.

PPC is officially vintage/retro.

either your dad goes on a rage spree every few months or you think you can bait newfags every now and then.
>>
>>55056539
they're still old
everything would run incredibly slow (even basic web browsing)

>t. early Intel iMac owner
>>
>>55056710
I still use PPC.
>>
>>55056732
how?
is it a yoked PPC?
I haven't used it in years, but I remember everything took ages to open/load.
Can't remember the specs, but it was probably the base 15" model.

Why bother selling the old rig? Why not just keep it and buy the bloody iMac? It's a good computer, he should be happy with it.
>>55056248
>i'm 23 years old, i'm not in games anymore
Depressing fun fact of the day, most gamers are older than 25. We'll soon be approaching through point where games will be tailor made for middle age people nostalgic for the snes.
>>
>>55056828
what do you use it for? how does it run?
>>
>>55056199
$375 - $425 is the value of the pc.

OP, you're an idiot and the true scammer. You just want your dad to give you money for your shit system that probably isn't much of an upgrade to him in the first place. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Old people like Macs because they're well built, last long as fuck and are extremely user-friendly. My dad used a Mac clone in the 90s, went to an iMac in the 2000's and has been using an '08 iMac (with an SSD) since I bought one for him. Just so you see where I'm coming from: I have a MBP, Windows tower and a Linux server (for no good reason).

His iMac from 2000 was molasses compared to PCs I had lying around, but he understood how to use it. Windows and Linux UIs are a clusterfuck compared to OS X, especially when you are old and have little to no idea of what to expect.

Your dad will love his new iMac. It has a beautiful screen, it's fast for the tasks he wants to do, and looks great on his desk. Don't steal his shine by pushing horrendously built, cheap plastic gamer gear on him. He's your father so he might say yes to you now, but he'll resent you for it. Let him get what he wants; he earned the privilege to not only pay for it, but to make his own choice in the matter.
>>
>>55056856
not the guy you're responding to, but my mom used an emac well into 2015 until I got her a chromebook. it worked well for emails and record keeping. consuming streaming media wasn't possible including youtube, but she wasn't into that so it worked pretty well.
>>
>>55056199
Your daddy has money, let him do with it whatever he wants.

If he regrets it, its his own damn fault
>>
>>55056199
I'm sorry, you're dad's gay, tough luck.
