The guy who wrote that is smoking something good. I go to a community college with about 2500 students and I have never seen one Mac there. Not one. Also, the claim that macs are cheaper than PCs is pure BS. Check out the following for $1450:
PROCESSOR Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor T9500 (2.6GHz/800Mhz FSB, 6MB Cache)
OPERATING SYSTEM Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium Edition SP1
LCD AND CAMERA High Resolution, glossy widescreen 15.4 inch LCD(1440x900) & 2MP Camera
MEMORY 4GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz (2 Dimms)
HARD DRIVE Size: 320GB 5400rpm SATA Hard Drive
INTERNAL OPTICAL DRIVE Slot Load DVD+/-RW (DVD/CD read/write)
VIDEO CARD 256MB NVIDIA® GeForce® 8600M GT
WIRELESS CARDS Intel Next-Gen Wireless-N Mini-card
BLUETOOTH Dell Wireless 355 Bluetooth Internal (2.0+Enhanced Data Rate)
SOUND Integrated Sound Blaster Audigy HD Software Edition
I don't care who you are. That is a beast of a laptop. Heck, stick in a better graphics card and that would own 70% of gaming DESKTOPS out there. And all that for less than $1500. Take off the Vista and load XP, and you get that for like 1250. There's not a chance in hell any mac with those specs would sell for anything even close to that.
Not trying to be a fanboy. Of course, it's hard when you own the best console eve... dang it
