[QUOTE="Kokopelli, post: 191163"] If you are looking at a PC to accomplish your general computing tasks, Macs are more expensive than mainline Windows machines such as Dell. Live with it. The cost may be justified or might not depending upon the user and what he uses it for. Apple is different. OS X is not Windows and thus there are advantages and disadvantages to each. I find OS X to be better and more efficient for most of the things I do. <RANT> If you consider Macs too expensive, don't get one. Simple as that. If you consider the cost and find the additional money spent to be worth it then by default the Mac is not too expensive for you. Simple as that, make your choice too expensive or worth the extra cost. Macs are not fighting on price with the Dells of the world so don't bother with the comparison. This is honestly one negative side effect to the switch to Intel, the endless comparisons have gotten even more rampant now. Dell and Apple are not going on the same selling points. Dell is targeting a mass produced PC that will get the jo done for a low cost. Apple i marketing a PC and operating system designed to make your computing experience cohesive and pleasant. Dell's main selling point is the low cost, Apple's is user experience. Repeat after me: Apple is not a Wintel computer, Apple is not a Wintel computer.... Yes the CPU is now the same but the overall package (predominantly OS X) is NOT. Gah, I am done for now. <Skulks back to his padded cell /> </RANT> K. (who should not post pre-coffee) [/QUOTE]
