About that, i used to read an article about price comparing between DELL and MACS...
They took the most powerfull Mac, and looked for an equal DELL. Equal i mean the same type of data bus speed, same ammount and memory speeds, same processor models (4 processors actually), etc. So, exactly the EQUAL machine. The results: Dell one was 100us$ more expensive. what was almost same price cause was over 3000us$ of course, u can get a cheaper PC, but hardware and power will have NOTHING to be. Later i did same, i looked for a Sony VAIO with EQUAL characteristics than a MacBook Pro. The VAIO was around same price, even slightly more expensive. So...REALLY...when u buy a mac, u dont pay ANYTHING for it's beautifull design, but for its powerfull hardware. I do leave that clear for everyone who choosing a mac or a pc. ----- Mensaje original ---- De: Josh McDonald <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Para: [email protected] Enviado: viernes, 6 de junio, 2008 0:50:45 Asunto: Re: [flexcoders] Re: Thinking about going to the dark side....Apple Mac Book They're not really pricey if you care about build and component quality and style though - Sure I could buy a cheap fugly dell for 2/3 the price, but if I were stuck in Windows I wouldn't be caught dead using "consumer" laptops. Lousy components, ugly and too much cheap plastic. I'd have to go for a Vaio, which is priced like a Mackbook Pro anyway.

But, with the Intel-based MacBook Pro and Parallels, I have install Windows XP SP3 on a separate partition and can run the two OS in tandem. So I've been on a Mac for a little over a year now. I love the form factor of the machine; light and small. It is very powerful. I can test alpha/beta software on Windows and Mac. I can do .NET development on Windows. I do Flex/AIR development on both platforms. I'd say that I'm fat and happy, but I only weigh a buck forty. But I'm am happy! The down side, Macs are a little pricey.
