Hey, so yesterday I received word via the Geek Squad that my Asus laptop PC motherboard is fried and is not worth fixing, since it will be over $1000. I have been contemplating getting a Macbook Pro for a couple of years, but i am hesitant about spending $2800 after taxes on it.
I can buy a similar Dell XPS for about $2300.
In my mind, i think that Apples last a whole lot longer than PCs on the average...am i right? (obviously since this is a mac forum, i expect a bit of a biased response)
I need a performance computer because I need to run AutoCAD, and i am a bit spoiled when it comes to computer speed.
Basically, is it worth spending the extra money to buy a mac?
