[QUOTE="LEOVAN83, post: 643037, member: 54377"] Rohan, if I configure the HDX with all the top HARDWARE (nevermind the software below since I dont use any of that) except for the blu ray which I dont see much use for it, the price will be about 3999 dollars, while the MBP with all the top of the line components will be 3799 or something, so for about 200 dollars I get twice the hard drive space, I get an extreme Intel processor and a 8800GTS video card instead of the 8600 GT. So thats basically my point, why do people prefer to pay so much for a computer that has apparently less powerful components compared to a laptop only 200 bucks more expensive? I mean, if you put aside the portability factor, I see a far superior computer in the HDX although the Mac sure does look better and the OS is great... but, are looks and the OS enough to make such choice? I will be doing extensive AutoCAD and 3DS Max use, as well as extensive music recording using external USB preamps. So what should I get? [/QUOTE]
