It is true it is better to have fan however according to my friend and my
own research about IBM and iMAC. I found that iMAC is not only very easy to
use but very reliable. If several MACs in the past did not have fan, and
had been considered very reliable in the past up until now, then it seems
more of an engineering breakthrough rather than cost-factor. It is true
that iMAC's are more expensive than IBM clones and resistance goes up when
heat goes up. If MAC's had been cheaper like IBM then I probably would
consider them however since they are expensive I just go with IBM not only
because it is cheaper but I am too darn lazy to look for softwares for
iMAC's.
