The most expensive thing about buying any mac is paying for an apple display…and btw IT’S WORTH EVERY FUCKING PENNY. Sure I could have gotten a 2.4 C2D w/ 1GB and a 250GB, etc… etc. PC for substantially less than the $1200 I paid. But I’d easily make up the difference to have a 20" display as nice as the display on this mother fucker.

I spec’d out a Mac Pro for Pumice similar to the XPS he has now, it wasn’t until I started adding 30" cinema displays that the price got out of hand.

Compare apple to top of the line dell shit and it’s reasonably close. But I won’t deny that you pay for name “culture” and design. But god damn the design is great.

I bought the iMac so I could fuck around with the iPhone SDK and it replaced my PC 3 days later. It’s an absolutely phenomenal system.

PS - If i still needed to do “power” office functions i would still be using a PC
