Ahh, I see you got the one with the INTEL I5 Processor...Originally Posted by car-15
I just looked at the receipt again I was off by a couple of bucks, it was $1020.99 I got $79.00 off sale price and they gave me a $100.00 discount to get rid of me.
The (computer) age old Mac vs pc thing!
It all user perception. And some fact....
Fact: I am running a dell laptop for work, and in the last 12 month I had one bad hard drive, a replacement LCD, and last week the mobo died. I am getting a Lenovo next week. 1200$ last year for the dell, 1600$ for the Lenovo.
Fact: I have an iMac at home that I use for general home stuff, media hub, photo storage. It has been on since October 2008 (paid 1100$), I never did a shut down (couple of program install reboot). I never had a problem and when I upgrade this fall with a 2012 iMac, this one will go to one of the kids.

Macs have viruses too believe it or not.
Yeah, ironically most of the viruses that attack Macs are MSWord/Excel macro viruses
But for every virus that will attack Mac OS there are thousands of Windows viruses. MS should have dumped the registry ages ago and gone to a UNIX like kernel like Apple did with OSX.
That said, I'm perfectly happy running Linux on most of my machines (only time I run Windows or MacOS is if I need Adobe).

Good so far, I got hauled away to the in laws for a BBQ so I haven't had much time with it.
Yup, they do...and they're so uncommon that they're really a non-issue. I've had zero problems from them with mine.

"none are so blind as he who will not see."
what do any of your comments in this thread have to do with the original question? mods please lock this before I get banned. mac was bought thanks again to those who helped!
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).
