I started looking at the specs...and it had a slower processor than my $700 gateway laptop...and only had 2GB of ram...and a vid card that was nowhere near able to support even the simplest of games. My point isn't that Apple comps are bad and I honestly think that all of your comp's problems are user errors or neglect towards the PC...b/c I've only had 1 problem with mine. The HD crashed after 2 years, but I was able to salvage every bit of info and port it to a new HD and it only cost me $50.

    So, essentially what I'm saying is that Apple over charges for sub-par equipment...
    Apple does have to pay for all that fancy marketing somehow . . . .. Not to mention their sales teams in their stores now that's pressure selling. Apple knows that if you leave their store after a flashy demo and do some research you'll find that everywhere you turn everyone has a better product out. For gaming I would never recommend mac, but if you have it run bootcamp and the benchmark if it works it works.

    Hey there! Come and see our new Macbook Air. Yes! That's right it's a shiny mac utilising a three year old CPU; Who needs hyperthreading when you don't get a CD Tray? And guess what, it's even more expensive than the old macbook air - it even comes with it's own box (that costs extra)!

    What ... what do you mean you want to choose your own software, at Apple we control your life - and you get to pay for it! GNU public license .... ? Please don't swear in the store sir, you'll reduce the fanboys to tears. Now, look at the mac logo (shiny) and unzip your pants while I close this sale.

    Let me guess: you've been kicked out of a Apple Store once because you performed indecent acts with an iMac, and now you hold a grudge?

    Pretty much how they work though. They take a product that isn't revolutionary and then go on about how it is revolutionary.
    I like their products but damn, some of their stuff isn't exactly new but people act like it's the first of its kind.
    They just have a great marketing division.

    *flameshield*

    P.S I've been using Macs a lot longer than PCs. I was brought up using them and only got my first PC to play video games on xD
