    Its precisely because of economics that I choose a Mac. Throughout the years that I have owned a personal computing device, I have generally spent less on Macs than PCs. There's just too many hidden cost in PC ownership.

    Big disclaimer to say that this is my own experience only.

    The paid for software can be replaced by free alternatives on Windows, and if you install Linux you get most free, and not to mention hardware, if I want to play a game and I need a new graphics card to play, I need to pay about £200 for a new graphics card rather than a Mac where I would need to buy a new computer for around £1k.

    Oh and does anyone want to see my Macbuntu? Took me less than 1hr to make.
