[QUOTE="IvanLasston, post: 1354756, member: 145676"] I'd be interested to see what you found for cost - "apples to apples" as the saying goes. Most PC guys (myself included) always assume that the Mac is more expensive by a lot because we always see the cheapest machines on display. But what I've found is that if you dig into the features that those cheap machines have they are usually missing some things like bluetooth, a camera/mic, long lasting battery, Windows 7 Pro, etc. Once you add all that stuff back in to match a Mac the price difference is nominal ~$100-$200 USD from what I've seen. Otherwise I was in your same boat 4 years ago and experienced pretty much the same thing. Except I was staring at Windows Vista - otherwise known as Windows Me Too. That's what pushed me over to the Mac and I haven't looked back - except for Bootcamp and Parallels... [/QUOTE]
