I have been extremely excited about getting the Wii, but I realize that with all the money I would spend on it, why don't I get a Mac?
It will get homework done faster.
It will allow me to write sheet music (you don't care).
It will be useful now, the next year, and every year there after.

The Wii is awesome and I really want it, but is getting a Mac a better alternative?

Don't give me Wii=250 and Mac= 2000, I already know.

this question doesn't make sense to me. how can you compare a mac computer and a wii gaming system? a mac is made for computer stuff like the things you listed and yeah i guess you could play games on it...but if you were really looking for a platform to play games on you should buy a wii or some other console system. to me a mac and a wii are two entirely different things and probably shouldn't be compared.

just my observation anyway.

Exactly...and I believe a Mac costs substantially more than $250.

um if you can spend $2000 why buy a Mac? Get a PC, at least then you'll have the ability to play games on it, thus negating the need for a console (mostly). Also, if you know how to properly use a PC, it does give you more power then a Mac, Mac's are mostly used in buisness environments and such for the sake of stability, for home use PC's are normally better.

You want both, but there is a substantial difference in price.  Unlike a Mac or almost any computer, a Wii is not going to become outdated in half a year.  (Actually it will with the DVD player going in, but who cares about owning another DVD player set up to a TV that probably already has one?)

Get the Wii first.  It doesn't matter if you wait for the DVD player or not.

More power in a PC? Don't lie to him. I would easily bought a Mac if it wasn't for the games. Macs are superior because of it's OS, Windows just su*ks.

i switched to Mac over 5 years ago... i would NEVER go back to WINDOWS... i LOVE never having to worry about bugs and crashes.... everything just works on my mac. ive gone thru 2 macs so far and i have NEVER EVER had a problem. when i had a PC i knew all the computer repair shops and knew everyone by their names who worked there. Now... i dont even know where those shops are any more... those people use to tell me to NEVER get a mac.... i see why now... cuz they lost my business... a computer repair shop is obsolete when you have a Mac...
