yeah give it a cple yrs and you will wish you didnt waste your money. i bought a mac in 05 and was all about the mac until i found out how much more “bang for the buck” a pc is. with mac you waste your money on a fashion statemnt. even with upgrades my mac is a pos. your gonna regret it

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.

@chino

are you not using entourage? its pretty stellar compared to outlook… I havent had much chance to mess around with 2008, but 2004 had a really nice project management tool.

just using iMail and iCal

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.

welcome, now you need an iphone and your all set

I love how many people don’t realize that mouse that comes with Macs has a right click you just need to enable it.

I <3 macs

except the iPhone

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.

lol there is no way you can get an equally powerful brand name laptop for $700

I miss my 17inch MacBook Pro and my 24inch iMac

[Coldaccord]

14-15" laptops > *

having a 17" laptop defeated my purpose for having a laptop. it was nice to watch movies, but the fucker was big. traded it in for a 14" widescreen and I was loving life

If the Mac Mini had an option for something besides on-board intel graphics I would be all over it in a heartbeat.

[dozr]

haha… I knew you would all see the light someday.

[LZ1]

cough

This is where you enable right click if you have a mighty mouse…
