Apple laptops vs. PC laptops?

[mossrisjhons]

Hello all. I would like some feedback on this.

I have seen so many comparisons about a Mac Book Pro and non-Apple laptops.

It would seem to me that IF you did configure a Windows based laptop with everything a Mac Book Pro has the Windows based laptop is a little less expensive.

My view on this is that with a non-Apple laptop you have greater choice. You don't need to buy a Cadillac when all you need is a Chevrolet.

Yes I can spend $3000 on a non-Apple laptop if I need that level of ability or I can spend $700 for a more basic machine. I have the choice.

Also the myth that Apple users are some how smarter than Windows users. I think the average Apple user is just as dumb as the average PC user.

well i would say those mac commercials suck really, they're going to far. I've worked with a PC all my life and only wear a suit once a month ; )

I'm doing the same great debate as well. My daughter want's a laptop for her birthday and I DO want to give her one that's going to be pretty awesome for making videos and graphics and such but at the same time I've never had a problem doing anything on a PC so why would she?

Why spend $3000 grand on a box or $2000 on a laptop when you can spend $1100 or $750 respectively?

Ya the Apple commercials are getting a slight insulting - but I guess it's cut-throat when you don't own the market like Microsoft does ; )
