A Mac is just an expensive PC with a different OS.

Yup. And a Lambo is just an expensive car with a different engine.

Really, why do you all make the SAME THREAD EVERY WEEK saying macs suck?

Unlike the Lambo which doesn't have a Volkwagen engine, the Mac has a Intel chip engine...same as many PCs as I recall.

i am replacing my $4k Macbook Pro with a $1k Toshiba right now. i've been running the Macbook on Win 7 anyways, but too many things do not work properly even this way and now the backlight of the super duper screen is failing after 3 years.
Would never buy a Mac again, at least not while working in a Windows network and relying on data for my business that i cannot transfer to Mac OS because of non-existing programs.

might be something different if someone starts from the scratch, for me it didn't work

I can get a nice pc with 500 quad core already

the imac 27" i7 comes out to almost $4600 with all the addons.

I've got a 27" iMac and I have no regrets. I also have a 2007 MacBook Pro that is somehow still in mint condition. I only use it for when I'm away...
