I've used a Mac...and unless you're a freak for a minimalistic and dead-end hardware (or super expensive upgrades are not a problem), or if there are apps on OSX that you MUST use, you will grow out of it pretty soon and you'll miss the good ol' crashin XP. There are a handful of current gen games on the Mac...so stay away from it. Its all bling bling. And you can always install OSX on a Windows based PC and enjoy all the shashkey... I even tried that.. uninstalled it after a few months.

Get an Ipod Touch, truly a revolutionary device (im typing this post on it)...and a mid to high end PC costing less than 40k... more than enough for awesome level of gaming which will last a long time..and you'll have alot of money left to spare on whatever you want.

@necro
we should make a itouch owners thred on pg.?what do u say?
I don't know what good that would be....knowing the mods it might get closed... ipod touch/iphone owners are active in the "big ol Iphone thread'. Plus not many people took part in one thread I made regarding ipod touch. Not so many dedicated users here.

@ Speedyz: if u want shaska , u can also get a good sony vivo, a high performance one will cost u almost same as this mac.
otherwise the Ipod Touch and the 60k PC r the best option.

imac hands down.. performance wise and look wise macs are just too good, and you know you wont get a laptop with even half the specs in 70-80k.. buy the imac and make it dual boot with windows+mac..

Mac games are not easily available for download, and the games are just casual games, except for MW. Plus you will have to buy orginal ones, and also possibly ship them too. (Get a PS3 instead lol)
Also, mac software is expensive, and hackers/crackers dont really have much interest in them. Get the imac only if you want to do video, audio editing. Software like finalcut pro, and Avid are amazing and work better on a mac (Final cut is Mac exclusive) Most hollywood films (Editing) is done with a mac bundled with Avid and Final. Also, it looks very good too. But its just not the thing you want, get a PC and Iphone (Why are you getting an Itouch?) Get a super sexy 24-inch LCD, put it on the desk, hide the PC below, and get the GTX 275.

Don't go for looks. Go for what's inside. Mac OSX was fun to use when it used to run power PC but now all the newer Macs are intel x86 based making Mac OS X compatible with every new intel PC out there because now a days a Mac is a x86 PC with a flashy OS ( In the past it was a real hassle to run Mac OS X on a PC due to driver unavailability for PC's). . I would say buy a PC and itouch.

If you want to run Mac OS X on a PC you may like to visit this site -----> Insanely Mac

GT120 is like 9600GSO. In a 1.5 lakhs machine you would expect them to put atleast a GTS 250. Yes the above games will run, but not on full res of the LCD. (Which Sucks)
WTH yeah games bhi full resolution pa nahi chalain gi :S that sucks!

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
