A MacBook/Pro is one of those things where you get your money's worth...
but it's really expensive and this is my little price comparison....
take note...I was going to buy a 15" Macbook Pro, January last year for myself and give my old HP Compaq Presario V5000 to my wife as she needs a laptop. I was decided. However there were other needs during that time that arose. We needed a portable A/C for the summer since my wife was pregnant that time and we don't want to turn on the central A/C as there is no need to cool the entire house for one person. I was wanting an Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 MACRO for the longest time for my photography as well to start exploring the world of macro-photography. And my wife still needs a laptop for work (she's a newspaper editor). So we weighed everything and here is what happened:
15" MacBook Pro - $2,700 (rounded-up including tax)
VS.
HP pavilion DV2742SE ( 14.1", 1.6GHz, Core 2 Duo, Intel Centrino Chip set, 3GB RAM) - $1,600 (rounded-up including tax)
Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 MACRO - $540 (rounded-up including tax)
Haier Portable A/C - $325 (rounded-up including tax)
TOTAL: $2,465
So as illustrated, for the one MacBook Pro, I was able to buy three things that I actually need...it's really expensive...if you have the money then go for it as Mac's are proven far superior in stability compared to PC's as you already mentioned. The specs might lie to you a bit because from experience, (and more in-depth mac users can correct me here) with the same specs it out-performs it's PC counterparts. Here are three adjectives that I have for Mac in comparison to a PC "Faster, More Reliable, and Out-performs."
So if you have the money go for it, but if you don't, do not force it. For basic computing needs on a daily basis, a PC is not that bad...it's just that the Mac is better....
anung hindE???
OT: di ba ang spelling talaga ng hindi ay "hind
I"?
