macs are overpriced..have u noticed laptops and desktops are getting cheaper every year and the mac is still the same price. macs are beat in specs and designs aren't that much better than the competitors. the only advantage it holds is its operating system and that luxury branding identity

For the consumer, I understand your point of view, but from a professional point of view, the 17" Macbook Pro was the best computer for me, due to its thin & light form factor (tell me what other 17" laptop is 1" thick or weighs 6.6 pounds), high resolution screen that displays 80% of the Adobe 1998 RGB colour gamut and crazy battery life. As a photographer, those were very important to me. Besides, as a business expense, I can write it off.
In the end you should get whatever machine is best FOR YOU.

ur statement has no fight | Yup, I've had my Macbook Pro for a year and I absolutely love it, especially when I can even run Windows (faster than my gfs new Toshiba Satellite) on it.

ur statement has no fight | I bought a MBP, I only use it for two things: photo editing and iPhone programming. It's been over a year, and I still prefer to use my IBM. My mac crashes more often than my pc, and my computer illiterate dad says he prefers his desktop with W7.
Macs ARE overpriced, but thats never stopped consumers before.

I've used both Windows and Mac extensively. I don't find that either have many problems with crashing and whatnot.
I will say that I find that using the Mac is a more enjoyable experience because of the larger trackpad, trackpad shortcuts, and the look of the OS... is that worth $1200+? Maybe. The only thing is that you can't get shit done on a Mac. Office 2008 SUCKS HARD so I find myself asking what's the point if I have to bootcamp into Windows just to use a proper version of Office. Then again, if all you do is type words then I suppose it'll be fine.
If Office on Mac ever gets feature and program parity with the Windows version then maybe I'd consider going to a Mac full time.

ur statement has no fight. | i said majority..meaning not everyone. IBM laptops are of higher quality than most PC laptops out there so i see your point.
At the end of the day, alot of users switch to mac with the thinking of no viruses or whatnot. Of course all the junk they put on their PCs is what causes it to slow down and freeze, the same can be said for mac's its not stupid proof
I have experience in using both. I wish i could get work stuff done on my mac sometimes, but it doesnt happen.
fishing666 is some idiot troll anyways, telling people macs are beat and overpriced isnt a strong enough argument.

they have this free ipod promotion because the new macbook and Ipod Touch is coming out and they need to clear the inventory. I fell for this and although I got a free iPod Touch, 3 weeks later they unveiled a completely new macbook/ipod touch | |
