[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1330362, member: 24160"] Time Machine is a backup software included with OS X - not hardware - [URL="http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427"]link[/URL]. You will need an external hard drive to use it. The price of your backup software/hardware should be considered and included as a part of the budget when pricing a new computer. And you are exactly right, if you have a failed drive and have to replace - or just upgrade your drive down the road, just install the OS, connect your TM backup and restore back to the point of your latest backup.
