seriously, anyone who thinks you can get a pc cheaper.. if you compare systems ..I mean really compare and make sure the two are as close as possible on the specs.. you'll find that the mac's are around $400-$900 cheaper.
So say what you will about the price and games.. there's this new thing called parallel... works wonders 
I love my MBP so much..I'm thinking about getting a MacPro desktop.. those are so fucking sexy.
So jess, trust me.. it's well worth saving for  |
actually earlier this year (about 2 months ago) I was in the market for a new computer and I did compare spec for spec. I was willing to pay a small premium for a Mac and convert all to Mac knowing that Parallel and Bootcamp were offered.
I was able to get a 2.14 Ghz Core 2 Duo 2Gb RAM 512MB video card 250Gb HD, 1 week after the Core 2 Duo launch for $1200. At the time, Mac didn't offer it, but comparing again, similar performing procs via tomshardware.com I couldn't get anything in the Mac flavor for anything less than $2,000. The extra money I saved, I bought dual 19" monitors and a nice ergo stand for them. I bought 2 systems one for me and one for the wife. The Macs I looked at would have been $5,000 for both systems and that was without any monitor.
If you can find a deal like that now, please show it to me.
as far as the savings is concerned saving now only means that the specs you buy will be even better.
