[QUOTE="poopieboy, post: 916901, member: 116678"] I have used mac's all my life.. and before I bought my new MBP I seriously debated getting a PC too. It all comes down to the operating system. Tech specs can be upgraded, and tech specs will always change over time. I'm running off "only" 2gb of ram right now, but I am holding off on upgrading til 4gb sticks become cheaper so I can upgrade to 8gb. The only thing that you won't be able to upgrade is going to be the non-technological hardware (casing, keyboard, screen, etc) and the operating system. These are the reasons I ended up choosing my mac. I borrowed my friend's Dell XPS laptop a few days ago.. and I was disgusted at how long it took to start up and shut down. I love my mac. It gets things done FASTER. Its not faster on paper, but it is much faster in the real world, where it counts. I could be using a Windows laptop that has a faster processor, more memory and a faster hard drive, but the way the menus are laid out and the overall user experience of the operating system makes it take much longer to get things done. I am well versed in how to use a PC and know all the keyboard shortcuts. Mac is still faster. End of story. [/QUOTE]
