[QUOTE="Hexagon_777"]I believe it is mandatory that I post this.smc91352
And in the low-end:[spoiler] . [/spoiler] Apple's i3 + 4670 computer costs me $1,331.90.[spoiler] . [/spoiler] $811.07 if I build it myself and used Windows. A difference of $520.83. That's 64.22% more.

That is just ridiculous. With great marketing comes great responsibility. Apple obviously lacks the latter. :cry:

Mac.... I used to use windows PCs, then I bought a Mac and unless something goes terribly wrong with Apple, I won't be going back to Windows PCs. Macs are so much better and so much easier to use than windows PCs.

I'm not trying to offend you, or anyone else that feels the same way you do, but I honestly don't see what would make a PC hard to use, if you can read, understand the concept of buttons, mouse cursors and other GUI components then I don't know how you can go wrong, a lot of effort goes into making Windows user friendly and I think they've done a good job at making it easy enough for anyone to use.

Those HDD prices literally made me laugh! Some truly ridiculous prices there...

Edit: Just recently I bought two 1T Western Digital Caviar Blacks and altogether the cost me NZ$280, including shipping and everything. Apple wants you to pay $550 for 2T's, and I bet that's in American Currency making it even worse.

It is indeed. Apple may have a brand and may produce good computers and such but I don't see what people see in their products to justify paying so much. Perhaps they are just a symbol of status?

Probably, it's a bit like fashion really, you could have two identical clothing items, and just by sticking a brand name on one of them will instantly double/quadruple its price tag. The price for that RAID card is humorous as well, I couldn't imagine why any Mac user would need such an expensive RAID card. My fairly high ranged motherboard that cost around $400 came with two different RAID controllers, and I bet they perform just as well as that RAID card does... The only time I would understand someone spending that much on a RAID card would be when they're installing it in a server or something to that extent.

Let's be fair here. Macs can install Windows as well, meaning it can also have two operating systems. :P

Touche, but buying a mac then installing windows on it seems a little silly :P since you don't really get a mac for the hardware

Windows 7 + Linux Mint does sound a lot better and cheaper.

Normally I would say PC especially since you don't inted to be doing anything specialized, but since you already have a mac I'd just say stick with it. Next time you want a new laptop though pick up a pc.

How many of these things are there? Everybody has their own opinion so stop asking people!

if you're getting a laptop then go mac. the construction is quite good. as for the OS's with windows 7 out, I find them to be about even. both have strengths and weaknesses.

I never understand the people who recommend that somebody buys a mac for basic computer stuff. I mean you would be fine buying some $400 laptop and it would do just as well, and cost less than half the price. But OT I don't understand why you're asking this, because you said you already have a macbook pro.
