I'm complaining about the cost of a Mac to a custom PC. Why the hell can't I?

I can buy PC components and build a great gaming PC for $700. A Mac that could do the same, even with a standard video card, would likely cost $1500.

Sorry, but there is no incentive for me to ever buy a Mac. You can't play games on them, and even if you boot Windows or something on a Mac, you've spent double what you should have to run a computer.

And for those who talk about Mac security...I dont' even have an anti-virus program on my Windows PC. Ever try not going to sites that'll riddle your PC with viruses? If I did, I'd just have a simple anti-virus program installed, and BAM, problem solved, selling point on Macs gone.


I was going to respond to this topic, but then I saw this post, and realized you already took the words right out of my mouth. So this is my "Well said Ben." post.

As far as Vista goes, I recently switched for the benefit of Direct X10. It's not great, but it's not bad either... I have yet to experience any bugs with it. It hasn't crashed. As long as you have at least 2GB RAM it won't slow down any of your games. Conclusion: Not worth buying unless you get it for $10 from your college like I did, but not bad either.
