FINAL WORD ON THIS : POWER MACS DESKTOPS ARE OVERPRICED > COMPARED TO A PC DESKTOP, ive been using apples since the days of the apple II, if i as a user, can build myself a quad core mac with 4gb of memory 500gb hard drive 9800gtx+ and all trimmings working except screen, running mac os x for £470.00 (including £99.00 of that total spent on the operating system). Why should I pay apple £1800.00 for a mac pro with the same or worse spec ? and why can they not make a machine for the same or less than i can ? due to volume discounts etc, you tell me ? now anyone who recently switched from a pc, glad you woke up, and wants to get all partial newborn mac propagandist on me, remember i must have converted over 200 people like you to macdom. they are more expensive and the design isn’t worth the extra money, how often do you put a mac pro on show or look at it for days on end ? macs now are basically now PC’s at heart, it is the operating system thats makes the difference and that costs £99.00.
