A caller to the 888-PIRILLO line asked me what my opinion is on the new HP Blackbird 002. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to use this product, so I don’t have an opinion. If you’re talking about a gaming rig, then you definitely NEED a pc… not a Mac. Why would you even ask about a Mac? Seriously… if you’re going for a hard-core gaming rig, a Mac is not for you. You want a Windows machine that will overclock and tweak and handle those games you love so much.

Everything about this machine is perfect for a gamer. The cooling and airflow components are outstanding, and the design is cool. It’s very obvious that the HP engineers took their time in building this rig. Heat is the enemy of performance PCs, and the three biggest heat generators are the CPU, the GPUs, and the power supply. The Blackbird isolates each of them in its own thermal chamber, ensuring that cooling air isn’t contaminated with heat from one component on its way to cool off another. Regardless of performance BIOS modification you may make, the Blackbird can handle the heat.

It really is funny that this person called in when they did. I know I’ve gotten a lot of flak from Windows lovers, who are trying to claim I am now a “Mac FanBoy” who despises Windows. That’s just not true. I am using Windows every single day. I still recommend Windows. I still help troubleshoot Windows. And if a gamer asks me what computer should they buy… I don’t have to think twice. It HAS to be a Windows machine. When it comes to anything else they may want or need to do on a machine… I’ll tell them that the Operating System they choose is solely based on their needs and preferences.
