[QUOTE="Tonychavalia, post: 1028277, member: 149068"] [b]exhibit development[/b] Welcome to the site and Macs. I was in the same boat as your until about a month ago I picked up my first mac in about 15 years. Coming from the PC side of the house its hard to justify to yourself spending $1000 bucks for a low end Mac when you can go to Best Buy and buy a killer PC for the same price. Its all about the experience, software, quality and reliability. I have a Macbook Air and have had no issues and It will run XP and Windows 7 better than my Dell Desktop will. I went with a used Mac Air cause the price was right and the pricepoint of a used machine is easier to swallow. With the economy as bad as it is you can get great deals on macs on Craigslist. I just put mine up for sale or trade on CL, Im trying to move to a Mac Pro and thats only to gain a dedicated input and output audio jack. There are great deals on refurbs, the deals change alittle every day. Most days you can get a white Macbook for 850 or a 13in Macbook Pro for 999. [/QUOTE]
