[QUOTE="RNDdave, post: 326334, member: 20405"] Fair points on the price - I just keep coming across people that have got a nice new laptop, couple have Vista and they read off a load of spec and it sounds OK yet it cost maybe £500 - ok I paid £750 so not double that - but it sounds fairly similar in specs yet cost £250 less. Don't get me wrong I chose the MacBook because I wanted OS X and I love the MacBooks - I did not buy it because I had more money than sense - I bought it because I felt it was a good system for the price. Unfortunately my Wintel friends (actually most have AMDs - is there a term for AMD Windows users?) usually have the opinion that I've been robbed... At the end of the day I can sleep easy - I know I bought this because it suited me and I love it. And yes the included Software is pretty good - I really like some of it. For me the only annoyance is that I have a few good PC software suites that I've already shelled out on - and now I need to shell out again - still I chose this route - no one forced it upon me :) [/QUOTE]
