Top Rated Desktop Computers 2012

When I purchased a laptop a couple of years ago I thought I'd just let my old desktop die a natural death and use my new laptop exclusively. I found though, that I was used to a large screen for many applications which required having several windows displayed simultaneously.

My old desktop had reached it's capacity with a full hard drive and outdated memory capabilities so I researched the Top Rated Desktop Computers 2012 and after using my nephew's Macbook I decided to purchase a Apple iMac 24-Inch Desktop

I'm very impressed with this unit mainly because of the ease of use in recording my guitar on Garageband and the in the streamlined photo and video editing and sharing features. I also don't miss the constant virus updates and patches I'd grown accustomed to with Windows on my old machine.

Below you'll find the top 10 best rated and top selling desktops and while I'm a satisfied convert to the iMac there are several lower priced PC's with the specs that should satisfy most users computing needs.

I hope you find a computer that will surpass your expectations while finding a very good deal.

PC

This is a pretty solid post! I've written similar articles myself

Teddy_Steele says:

PC of course! Many more options for them without a doubt.

I prefer PC over mac mainly because for the price of a mac you can build an awesome PC with most of the best hardware and come out on top. Also a plus to building your own is having a better video card then the on-board version alot of the store bought PC's have.

I'm a PC guy... I just feel like I can get better hardware when I build my own or purchase a PC than I can when purchasing a MAC. I have had the occasional virus in the past that I've had to "google" in order to remove - however, it's never been a problem and I don't use Anti-Virus software - just free Malwarebytes.

says:

I'd go for PC's. They're more reliable and stable. Many viruses out there, but also there's many good anti-virus softwares for PC computers. Maybe install Linux on the PC machine and it will run better than before.

Mac

Mac all day

Actiongames says:

I was a PC fan for many years. After school I got my first Mac and Im never going back. As a Graphic designer the Mac is my best friend. I can run ten Photoshop files with multiple layers along with, Indesign, Bridge, Illustrator, while checking e-mail and, uploading a website. Pulse I don't have to worry about viruses and so much more.
