Macbook here... about three years old. No problems. Rarely turn it off. It just works. I love it. I surf the web, even "questionable" sites without virus protection.
OSX is NOT linux. It does have a unix core (unix, not linux). But whatever is at it's core remains well hidden away from me by the brilliant interface that Apple has created. You know, a Camry is a fine car, but I choose to drive an older MB instead. And Windows ain't no Camry.... (IMO) I've yet to meet someone who switched to a Mac who hasn't been happy with their choice despite some of the comments posted here.

I just rebuilt both mine and my wife's PCs today for less than $550, and that included a new 19" LCD for her (I already have a 20"
![]() ![]() She is running Windows 7beta and likes it. I have XP still due to some older devices I need.....eventually I'll move to 7 though. Bah to MACs.....they are unnecessary and waaay too expensive. When you can build an apple to your own tastes for under $300 and get a good performing system out of it....then I will be interested. ![]()

However, a lot of them certainly carry an overwhelming amount of "look at me with my MAC" pride.....not all, but many....and thats just annoying. They have no clue how it works or anything, they just like to brag about their spiffy appliance.

If i had the bones I'd get a new Intel CPU but that means i need new ram, motherboard, and might as well buy new video card... bla bla ends up being 600 bucks or so. Might as well just buy a PS3 or Xbox360.

Cost is still a factor. Can you walk into Best Buy with $400 - $500 and walk out with a complete Apple desktop system, possibly with a printer and all the cables thrown in to boot, and still have spare change? Don't think so.

Agreed. And the $400 to $500 best buy system is a low-end system. As I said, Apple doesn't make low end systems. You want low end, you can't buy a Mac. You want midrange or high end, the Macs are competitive on cost. I could say more about productivity, enjoyment, etc... but really, what's the point? If someone doesn't want a Mac, they shouldn't buy one. If someone is thinking about it, they should realize that the cost of a Mac is about the same as for a comparably configured PC. All the back and forth about which one is "better" and which fanboy is the bigger ******* is silly.

Low end mac?
![]() A friend I had in High School...his dad runs this site: http://lowendmac.com/ Anyways, to each their own.......like I said before, my main qualm is how Apple does business. Like locking up their iPhone and trying to keep everything under their control....like a communist gov.
