eh that is sort of true back when they were using powerpc processors… now that they’re using intel the price points are pretty comparable.

The mac pro’s are super expensive though, the problem is if you are buying the apple upgrades (like RAM) then you get anally raped. If you buy your ram through a normal store like CDW or newegg, its pretty similar.

I thought Mac people were supposed to be more open-minded and down-to-earth? 🙂

I truly hope this is not a serious statement. The calendaring in entourage is HORRIBLE. Cannot comment on the project management tool. For email and calendaring I prefer outlook by a mile.

I’ve been thinking about a laptop from them. not a fan of the price, nor the lack of a forward delete key. (I know you can press apple delete or something, just a subtle nuisance). Also they are very expensive.

$1100 is not expensive for a good laptop.

This thread almost makes me want to try one. Then I remember how much I hate my wife’s ipod/itunes.

OK I still want to try one. They ought to have some sort of “try-a-mac-for-a-week” program. I’d entertain one for my next computer.
