Brands like acer, dell compac are offering pc's and laptops from around $700 compared to $1700 for an apple. The others make dearer models too, but have some entry level products to reel you in, then try n hook ya with upgrades and software n more this n more that. |
I bought one of the first macs in 1984 and stayed in the family until 2003. I finally bought a windoze machine because everything was windows whether or not I went along. I hated it and its successor machines with their anemic imitation of the mac operating system.
I recently purchased a mac mini for about $550 and rediscovered the simplicity and user-friendly design of the little beast. It is a bit bigger that a dvd and 2 inches high. Mine has 2G of ram and I just bought an external 500G hard drive that nests beneath the mini. ($130)
It starts and shuts down in a flash comparatively and is literally virus free.
I had to provide a screen, a keyboard and a mouse, but those came out of the debris pile for the pc's.
The amazing thing is that I can run both mac and windows programs simultaneously, switching back and forth without rebooting.
Here's a link to look at specs:
