    May not run too smoothly with shaders and recording but it should be very smooth otherwise. It'll run MC smoothly although fps games will probably not be as good. I would recommend building a computer, you can get a beast with $700 surprisingly.

    No, not good. Build a computer. Better value, plus more powerful.

    ^ This
    Reason why?

    Macs are usually computers that are for educational purposes and for surfing the internet, so I would not recommend getting a mac to play video games.

    That computer is okay, however it may not run smoothly if you would like to record or run large mod packs. It may stress out your computer.

    This is the computer I have and it runs minecraft fine with Shader's mod as well.

    Consider the following:
    I'm on a Mac. lol

    And as to the topic of the thread, this would come in handy:
    It's also cheaper considering that your not paying for the brand name, etc.

    Your typical iMac will never be able to compete for a similar priced custom built PC. Severe lack of practical needs such as sufficient cooling as a tradeoff for 'looking cooler'. If you really care about a cool looking PC, then just spend $20 or so on LEDs or whatnot on your custom build.

    https://www.apple.com/uk/imac/specs/

    The most expensive one is the closest to my computer. Mine is more powerful, and is at least 30% cheaper.

    That doesn't tell you much about your computer other than OS and processor.

    Macs can run some games as I said before; however, not once did I say that Macs outperform a custom built PC. Macs are better for Art. I have the Mac Mini.

    iMac please, use the Mac Pro. http://www.apple.com/mac-pro/

    The Mac Pro is very good, but obviously a PC is cheaper.

    Cheapest one is over 3 times the price of my computer, and yet mine still runs better. Unless you're using it for video work and rendering, macs are not worth the price under any circumstance.

    Of course they are overpriced, all I'm saying is that they can run some games. I edited my previous post before you posted.

    They can, yes, but not to the extent, framerate or load a similar priced custom build can handle.
