[QUOTE="ViriiGuy, post: 599255, member: 48508"] Well the answer as to Why is a multipart answer. First the Personal level. On a personal level I was drawn to Apple because well, they are flat out sexy. The look, feel and build quality of them strikes me as nothing short of art. Also when Apple released these intel based Macs, that was the final factor. Being able to run Windows, OSX and Ubuntu all ont he same machine? Yep a winner. I do think they are a bit pricey for the performance, but I did pay $3500 for my last Dell Laptop. On a professional level, I chose to buy a MBP for several reasons. I am a Windows Network/System, a Linux Admin, and a VAX Admin, so with OSX being UNIX based it seemed to be an obvious progression in my skill set. I also have had several clients come to me in the last few months begging me to start supporting Macs as they are switching to Mac rather than deal with Vista. (Never mind the fact they could still run XP) So again the choice to buy myself a MBP was obvious. Plus I constantly strive to upgrade my skillset. I can currently do just about any job in the PC world, from Desktop repair to multi domain management, from system and network design to building custom fan buses, cabling to security analysis. So now I am ready to add the Apple world to my skillset too. I already understand the hardware design and the principles of the OS. This should be a fun ride in any case. :) Randy [/QUOTE]
