[QUOTE="Juan Largo, post: 814424, member: 47345"] Hardware specs can be very misleading. The operating systems are completely different. Vista essentially needs to run on a computer on steroids just in order to do mundane tasks. OS X, being derived from Unix, uses computer resources much more efficiently. Thus, a Mac may run circles around a PC with "better" specs that uses Vista. As somebody else suggested, go to an Apple store and try one out. A store employee will be glad to show you all of the capabilities of a Mac. Shopping for a computer is like shopping for a car. Would you buy a car without test driving it? Of course not. Would you buy Car X simply because it had more horsepower than all the others? Of course not. The proof is in the driving. It's the same way with computers. [/QUOTE]
