Now, it is pretty much a moot point, if you should buy a Mac or a PC. Just get the Mac, and you have the best of both worlds! I hope Apple makes less expensive machine, but I doubt they will, because Apple is associated with high quality, and is a premium product, with a premium price. You do pay for what you get, so paying a little more gives you more piece of mind, and the best tech. support in the country. Have a look at Consumer Reports, and that will tell you.
Mac’s are truly great computers, and I am very happy with mine. OS X is so much better than Windows, and now that the Mac will run both, you Windows users can see what you have been missing, and experience all of what the next version of Windows hopes to be.
