Mac book (regular one, not a pro) - $1149 http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&sku_id=0926INGFS10099350&catid=22156 Specs - CPU - Intel Core 2 Duo 2.1GHz Ram - 1Gig Hard drive - 120 GB Drive - combo drive (WTF is that) Screen - 13.3 inches Similarly spec'd PC from same store - 699 http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&sku_id=0926INGFS10107931&catid=20354 Specs - CPU Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0GHz Ram - 4 GB !!! Hard Drive - 200 GB Drvie - 8X DVD+/-RW MultiFormat DL w/ LabelFlash Screen - 14.1 inches Now I know its gateway, who are like Dell and its not HP, Toshiba...etc. But the specs are much better for the Gateway at 40% less cost. Also, this is a regual mac, not a macbook pro. This means that its the plastic white shell (not the metal one) that will heat up until it burns your testicles off... At these prices, is anyone surprised that they get so much revenue? I've used a Mac and I didn't like the OS...but there really is nothing wrong with it. Its a functional system for people that want to use it for sure. However just like a PC, it does crash...your data gets lost...there are things you can't do that you could on a PC...its missing drivers when you need them most...etc... What I'm trying to say is that people need to examine their needs from a computer machine. Some may need a mac for some video editing software some may need a PC for some database tool...but for day to day computing (gaming, word poressor, internet...) there is no denying that PC's have more features and are better value. |
