    imac for everything else.
    Except gaming
    Or getting a decent computer for under $1000
    Or getting more for your money, power/performance
    Or being able to use every peripheral under the sun
    Or having a dozen+ different brands to choose from so you can decide what it looks like
    Or being able to customize the computer to get exactly the specs you want on it

    Just a few points.

    Maybe if you were using a Mac you would've realized this is the POLITICAL forum.

    Macs are overpriced pieces of who are bought only by people who want a fashion item rather than a good computer. I mean macs are higher priced and you get less on a cheaper PC

    No, but it is a BUSINESS issue.

    The OP has nothing to do with "business". It's an ad for an operating system. An ad that a person with down's could do better on.

    Let's say this was true (which it's not). Does it matter in the least if they are good computers (which they are)?

    Show us. Price out two with identical specs.

    PCs are for broke ass poor people who need a computer to steal internet from their neighbor to check the status of their welfare check on the 30th.

    Laptop or desktop? Because I can do either, easily.

    My dell laptop has now lasted for 3+ years. I'm not sure what good a 30 year old laptop is, but hey, more power to you.

    If you can do either easily why didn't you just do both instead of announcing your awesomeness?

    I was trying to simplify things.

    But yeah, that's easy. The prices for Apple's laptops:

    * 13-inch. Starts at $1199.
    * 15-inch. Starts at $1699.
    * 17-inch. Starts at $2499.

    This discussion is over already, but I'll humor you.

    The 13 inch Apple has TWO options.


    Intel Core 2 Duo 2.26 Ghz
    2GB Memory
    160GB hard drive1
    SD card slot
    Built-in 7-hour battery
    NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics
    Ships: Within 24hrs
    Free Shipping
    $1,199.00

    A similarly speced laptop from dell is $700. Just over half the price. The only trade off is a slower video card.

    http://configure.us.dell.com/dellsto...op-inspiron-13

    Best Buy (who is notable for being overpriced themselves) has an entire PAGE of 13-14" laptops with superior specs to the above Apple laptop.

    http://tinyurl.com/yh6sxoo

    The most expensive laptop on the page is $400 cheaper than the Apple, and it includes a Blu-Ray drive, a superior processor (the T6600), TWO GIGS of video memory, a larger hard drive, and double the RAM of the Apple laptop.

    Would you like me to continue with desktops? The disparity in price/performance is even more pronounced there, I assure you.
