Re: New laptop.

dunno about that really…

latest mac book: £816 (average)

2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 3MB on-chip shared L2 cache running 1:1 with processor speed

1066MHz frontside bus

2GB (two 1GB SO-DIMMs) of 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM; two SO-DIMM slots support up to 4GB

NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics processor with 256MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory

I can build a PC with the same spec for half the price if not less. and PC much more powerful for about £500-£600.

takes about 20 minutes to put all PC components together and about an hour to install everything and setup all your programs and such.

I understand that the average user simply can't do this kind of thing themselves, but why should change the facts that this CAN be done?  if you want a coldhearted comparison, I'd say the PC would win.

Don't get me wrong though, I do like the look and feel of a MAC.  But it would never compare to the things I can do on my PC.
