If you add up my software on my pc and take out my toys, my PC is still cheaper and still faster than her mac. For sure my npower vs the mac pro, holy crap.. at least $1000 cheaper.

My PC is 2+ years without a rebuild, my laptop was 4 before the fans went out. My cdrom on the npower was $25. The mac, I think it was $200ish because they had to put it in.

That mac cost more, it's parts cost more, and to get it repaired costs more.
Just like a BMW costs more to repair than a Ford!


That said, i dropped my mac book pro as the straps broke on a bag, it damaged the case and apple changed the case under warranty, they did not have to do that as it was my fault, but they did.
There is also apple care you can get extra warranty with right.

Top and bottom of it, Mac is well worth it and even if it does cos a little more.. so what.
