[QUOTE="BobHipJames"]Um, you're lying. They are priced higher than Dells.
I found an exact replica of the 2700 Macbook on Apple's website as a Dell for $1300.
Like, as in all the components were exactly the same or near-equivalent.
Your point about Mac OSX outperforming Vista is true, though. But XP isn't dogged down nearly as much and Linux takes the cake over all these rotten goofs (despite being a poor gaming platform).

If you can find any computer for the same price as a MacBook Pro that will outperform it, I would be shocked. Comparisons break down in the fact that they don't run the same OS, and different programs were designed specifically for different OSes, but in the case of the MacBook Pro, it even runs Windows better than any traditionally Windows-based comps. It really is a great machine, and the fact that you can literally do everything on a mac that you can do on a PC makes it that much more worth it.
Hahahahahaha.
So that example didn't cut it?
That was a MacBook Pro. The only problem with the Dell being its running Vista....but assuming you had OSX, Linux, or XP laying around....boom. Instantaneously comparable performance.
Or you could just WAKE THE HELL UP and build your own PC for reasonable prices....in that particular Macbook Pro there was an 8600 GT 256. I bought this card from Newegg, EVGA, for $75 after rebate, $80 post-shipping&handling.
$2700. And you couldn't find anything with that $1400 price difference to fill in the gaps caused by a slightly more competent OS?
