    What do you get when buying a mac except an OS that should be free with poor hardware compared to a PC for the price?
    For the most part it just looks and feels better than using a pc. The track pad for the mac book pro truely is the best, it has nice built video and music software, the OS is much cheaper than windows, we can still always load windows if we have the os (would be nice if windows had that), and just has a very appealing appearance.

    And all of that for almost twice the price. On subpar hardware. Neat.

    Just build a PC. You'll get more for less. Orrr if you want Mac so bad, you can just do a "Hackintosh" (Yeah, PCs kinda have that, too).

    Hackintoshes are actually pretty cool. Not for the layperson to try though as they can be pretty complicated to set up. Word of warning, not all devices are supporting and getting drivers is a royal pain in the butt. So if you go this route, be sure to get the right hardware/driver combo.
