Survey says.... buying my first mac!



Really there is nothing to keep me from buying a mac at this point, it truly seems to be the best of both worlds. Macs even run Windows Vista better and faster then PC's. I think the only thing really holding me back in the past was price and i'm finally ready to spend some cash on a laptop.



So yea, w00t

LOL Baldy





My brother switch from PC to mac about 4 years ago, and he hasn't had a single problem. At all. Like no problems whatsoever.



He's accumulated all the tools to work with PC format stuff on his mac, and it's making me think about buying a mac too. Maybe one day..

Only "bad" things I've ever heard about Mac is that its expensive and its different. Their durability and customer support are both first-rate.

Price has really been the only factor, i could get a similar pc for about half the cost, but i finally decided that I've been rolling on one laptop about 5 years with no upgrades, no repairs. So average the cost out it's not that much per year.

You are not getting the uber thin one? I came thrice when I saw that, it was like 20-30 pieces of paper thick!
