    The title says it all. It would seems I have a Win8.1 disc in my house and I would like to see if I should upgrade to that. I have Win7 Pro right now and it's quite good, but Win8.1 looks kind of cool and I'd love to try it. Pros and cons of both? Thanks!

    Yes, because getting a Mac is one of my options.

    And then realize, after you get it, Macs are for browsing and email, or professional /1440p/2160p/4K video editing.

    Not anymore. I can sometimes get my iMac (the new one) up to 700+ FPS on Minecraft.

    Heh, I've reached 1.4K on maxed out settings without OptiFine on my $900 PC.
