Hey guys, i need to know you opinon. Is a mac based Apple laptop (macbook) really worth $300-$400 more than a windows based laptop (likely the hp dv2000t)???
It depends on what you are using it for. I use both. The software that comes on the Mac is amazing. With Windows, I had to purchase programs for video editing, audio recording/editing, burning home movies etc. That will cost you much more than the price difference of a Mac and a PC.so i'd be better off saving my 300-400 dollars and getting the HP dv2000t over the macbook? and also do you know of any good slideshow/presentation software for windows besides microsoft powerpoint?
Actually you can buy a mac (which has an intel processor, new models have that option.) if you have enough money for it. And you can install windows to that mac as well. Have you heard "boot camp"? I need to remind if you do this you have to buy a windows xp, so this will make the total prize a bit higher. (And installing the windows can be a bit tricky if you are new to this type of things.)
This way you can have best of both worlds.
But if you like windows and you think it is enough for your needs, you should buy the other one. Because that will be cheaper and more useful.
