Ah yes, the classic "Macs are more expensive" argument. Don't look
now, folks, but Mac laptops are actually cheaper than Dell or IBM
(Lenovo), at least for now. My father-in-law is pretty anti-Mac, and
he just bought my sister-in-law a MacBook for school. It was quite
interesting to go over all the laptop choices he was considering. At
the time, the cheapest dual-core Dell that matched the MacBook specs
was about $100 more than the MacBook, and a re-furbished IBM that
matched the MacBook specs was $200 more. It did have a fingerprint
reader, but I could care less about that. If you want biometric
stuff on your laptop, then maybe the $200 price gap is worth it.
Really? How much would the specs I provided earlier cost me if I
bought a mac?
To repeat the specs
17 inch 1440x900
2GB ram
120GB Drive
DVD Burner
Fingerprint reader
256 video card
TV Tuner
Dual Core 1.66
I paid 1350.00
What vendor/model is this? I'm also curious what the dimensions are,
and what it looks like. Do you have a picture?
