I am interested in buying one, but I don’t want to buy it only to be ripped off. Also, what laptop of theirs would you recommend?
Let’s address a few cherished myths from the MS Fanboy club.???
Having a UNIX BSD base, OSX is a far more stable and secure system, and not prone to viruses. And for those who still insist on quoting that tired old myth about market share and viruses: UNIX varients are the most widely used operating systems outside the home, yet they suffer none of what windows suffers.???
Apple does NOT make all the software for Macs. They make the operating system, the iLife suite (bundled with Macs), and a couple of others. I use Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign Dreamweaver, Acrobat Pro), MS Office (Word, Excel, etc), and a smattering of other apps for my work. I have the same apps at home, plus a few dozen games, including the best sellers.???
They’re very easy to upgrade, and come with pretty good hardware out of the box. The kind of set-up most PCs upgrade to. If you were to configure a PC to the same specs as an iMac or MacPro, and add comparable software that Apple includes, that PC would cost a little more than the Mac. You get what you pay for.???
Peripherals are plug and play, and yes, Mac’s have come with multi-function mice for a few years now.
There are hundreds of periferals and upgrades available for many, many companies.???
Macs can have multiple operating systems loaded. You can be running in native OSX, and run windowze through parallels (we have one at work doing this) so we can used the ONE PC app we need, that isn’t available for a Mac (Publisher). ??
I’ve used both systems. Windowze is clunky and bloated by comparison. A pain in the cyber-butt. ???
Apple innovates.?MS Imitates.

In my opinion, no, they are not nearly as good as they claim to be.
1) They’re terrible for gaming
2) They’re cumbersome to use (c’mon, no right mouse button?)
3) They’re horribly and needlessly overpriced (pay more; get less)
4) Etc etc etc.
If you absolutely insisted on getting a Mac, I’d recommend a Macbook Pro. Then you could install Windows on it and it wouldn’t be a complete waste.

If you’re on a budget or looking for any kind of "value" then do not get one.
The operating system is stable, and its got a good bit of eye candy, but it won’t run most people want them to run. You often have to get Mac specific software, which, depending on what you do might be tough.
If you’re going to do useless stuff like check e-mails, watch movies, and just sit idly at your computer, then its a great computer.
If you plan on doing anything serious then you should get a PC.

A Mac is for the Casual Person: Goes to work, check there email, goes to school, plays music, watch movie, artisits, architiects, teachers.
A PC is for the Gamer and Older generation: In their 40s and 50s, have a hard time with computer or are computer geniuses, the gamer, the business man, the old people.
Macs are for the newset generation of kids. They are more calm and easier to use then PCs.
If I were to get a Mac, I would get the MacBook Pro. The best performance.
And the new Macs are made of recycled materials and have a great environment rating.

Buy a Mac if you want to be cool by just using it. You have to pay the price for being cool though.
