the last two Macs I've bought have not been nice. I'd trade them both for my 2009 model back.
Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Haw haw haw?..
Good so far, I got hauled away to the in laws for a BBQ so I haven't had much time with it.
last comment.
"none are so blind as he who will not see."
LOL @ the fool calling a Mac crap then recommending a Dell.
I built my own x86 computers from 1990-2006. I've run every Windows version from 2.0 through Vista (and from DOS 2.11 through 6.2 prior to that). A few years ago I just got tired of the Microsoft garbage and started migrating to Macs. Do I pay more for the hardware than if I built it myself? Yes but I haven't had any of the frustrations that my ONE Vista laptop continues to give from time to time.
I'll call BS on the non-upgradeability issue as well -- I upgraded my MacBook Pro from its stock 325 GB hard drive to a 750 GB hybrid (part flash, part HDD) while eating breakfast at The Egg & I. That's right, while eating breakfast.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion -- if I choose to do so -- will cost me $20 and I can use it across all my Macs. Upgrading my Vista laptop to Windows 7 Pro 64 cost me $120 for a single license. Windows 8 would be a downgrade that will cost even more. Yay.
Oh yeah, I have NEVER bothered with Parallels. I've used CodeWeavers' CrossOver Mac to run PC-based games but won't even have to do that soon as the one game I still play is introducing a Mac client on their next release (already in beta).
Every notice that Anti gun and anti-mac "talking points" are about the same?
uninformed bullcrap
Get a Mac-Mini with a good display.
