| Mac vs PC (split) The most impressive thing in all this is the price of the laptop. What kind of used laptop has a value of 1000+? I was shocked when I heard this was a felony theft. |

| Mac's are not all that . You can pay over a thousand for what a 600. dollar E-machine will do .But then you could not be a mac fan. Lets See? Hewlet packerd to dollar is just about twice the real ability . Lol But the steve jobs boys still say OOOH we dont get a virus. Well except the LARGEST one that has ever been discovered . Apple fans rank right up there with PS3 fans .

(Unless you got the 17 inch. No telling what they'll do with that.) |

An Apple laptop is a sturdy, well-built solid piece of aluminum. That comes with free tech support forever at a store where you can just walk in and ask them to help you.
The only company making laptops of the same consistently high quality is Apple is Lenovo, and they are priced accordingly. As with everything in life, you get what you pay for. |

Heavy rumor is that they are going to redo the 15 inch Macbook Pro with the super-slim Air form factor. Possibly at the expense of the ethernet port though. |
