A couple of years later, he wanted another one, complaining that his had slowed down so much it was unusable. A couple of years later, another member of our lab wanted a new computer, but insisted on a PC (he had to run some stats software and couldn't into boot camp). I was allowed to get a new iMac back in 2008 as I needed a higher resolution screen to do graphics manipulation on electron micrographs. My lab has always been all Mac, even before I got there. Finally had to shelve my 2003 model a few years ago as it can't handle playing high res video.Īs an amusing anecdote, I will tell you about my experience with Mac vs PC in a laboratory environment.

I have two Macs from 2006-7 that I still use on a regular basis. One of the primary selling points is their longevity.

I don't think you have ever owned a Mac there, friend.
