Q: Are there other Intel-based PCs that are high quality besides Apple?
A: Yes. In fact, for muchos dolares, you can get very high quality PCs
with very high quality parts.
Yes, you can buy boutique PCs that are equally aesthetically
pleasing and so forth.
You can build them for far less. Depending on your needs, or
wants.
If the latest Apple OS were available as a standalone product
I'd be in a dual boot config with OS X 10.4 right now. But it
isn't. And, IMHO, it never will be. Apple wants to continue
to sell hardware. They are actually selling the "total experience"
regardless of the hardware layer.
It makes good business sense, I guess.
I don't have any criticism to offer of Macs, they are very nice
for Mac-type people. Who don't tend to be experimenters.
And there's nothing wrong with that.
