I love apple. All of their products work seamlessly and for the average person they do everything that they need. I have to use windows for my engineering programs but apple even has me covered there. I just got the newest version of parallels and it has worked flawlessly even with my flight simulators. My macbook pro is almost two years old and I have never once had it freeze or do anything but work perfectly. Apple does cost a little more than some of the other windows based machines but I think you pay for what you get. And if you pay out for the mac nobody will be disappointed.

It looks cute! I love how computer related electronics are getting thinner and thinner and more streamlined. Did any of you see the virtual newspaper/book pad that can hold hundreds of books, or download newspapers, with a touch-screen? The future is now! Whee!

However, I prefer to use a computer with an open source system so I can edited it, upgrade it, and reprogram what I like, when I like, with competitively priced components from a wide variety of manufacturers world-wide. You can't get all that from a Mac. Their closed-source component system alone is akin to a mafia organization, with zero competition available by High Decree. To upgrade a component you have to buy Mac brand, at Mac prices, and deal with Mac - and if you have a problem, too bad, because you can't even go to a competitor. I don't like that at all.

I used to be a Mac person myself, but no longer. I did experience a slew of problems with Mac products, and between trying to find a store that would deal with them, and getting the run-around by Mac themselves, I've long since bid them good-bye.

On a side note, the PC I built myself has been running nearly 24/7 for about 3 years without a single issue. Go me!

This said, I think that if you are a general computer user a Mac is just fine. Doing homework, surfing the net, watching movies and listening to music... peachy keen! Just don't try to play any games.

well then you are talking to the wrong mac people. at the mac station i deal with and have been dealing with for many years now, they always give me the option of buying a non-mac product... but perhaps the products you want aren't ones anyone else makes???

i've never had an un-kind work to say about my mac or the assistance i've received from my mac-gods. they go above and beyond for me time and time again.

i LOOOOOOOOOOVE my mac!

I just found this funny. (Although I had no idea about the cd/dvd thing until now. That bites! )'

They have software that you can install that will read CD/DVD drives on another computer...that's pretty cool...but not everyone has another computer. It has it's pros and cons but hey...It's still neat IMO

ya the no dvd/cd would make me not get it... but hey... it simply another option for people who want something a little different - space wise - for work
