[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 312477, member: 24160"] I do not believe they are more expensive. From all the research I did, when you put the same processor and video Ram into a PC, the PC is almost always more expensive. These are the 2 areas where PC manufacturers seem to cut corners and add-in other less expensive options to entice you to buy their products. And these are the 2 areas that will prolong the lifespan of a computer. Just browse Circuit City, Best Buy, or any others and see if you can find a windows laptop for $1250 with a 2.0 Ghz Core2Duo processor in it. They are not there. It seems to me the PC manufacturers are skimping on the real hardware side of things that will be impossible or too expensive to upgrade later for the software side and add-ons they give you for that immediate gratification. See my post [URL="http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=51432"]here[/URL] for a Mac and Dell price comparison. [/QUOTE]
