Yet I have proven they are overpriced. Notice you can get a dell with coupons with
a bigger hard drive
more ram
Blu-ray drive
for the same price as a macbook pro.
Show us the coupon smart guy, link it, then prove me wrong.
The fact of the matter is they are fairly priced for what you get, and you cannot dispute that. This forum is filled with misinformed teenagers giving out false facts.
I actually supported my findings with links and spec'd out the exact Dell you were talking about and there was only a $50.00 difference.
The fact is that you and the rest of the people that have posted on this thread are wrong, and are posting misinformation about the value of a Mac computer.
You are following this like it is a spectator sport, there is no home field advantage with either platform. The original poster said from a non gaming perspective, and this is why I hate all the young two bit gamers who think they know everything (no offense to those who are actually level headed, you are beyond your years in maturity) when in fact you are all completely wrong in this thread.
Fact, your Dell can not do everything my MBP can do unless you spec it out and my MBP can do everything your Dell can. I have played Crysis on my MBP, and while it did not run at full settings it was by far easily playable.
This thread should be closed period and this forum shouldn't allow any more mac threads because all of them end up this way. The only thing I am trying to do is give helpful information to the original poster instead of plastering it with wrong facts and biased opinions. I have never stated my opinion yet.
My opinion is that Vista ruined windows completely and having been a windows user since probably before you could even use a computer and pretty much fully switched over to a Mac, and the only thing I use my PC is for gaming, with the exception of Linux which I use on all my PCs but my one slow ass bloated windows box. The rest of my PCs are Macs, and they are all stable, fast, do what I want them to do and have every feature I need them to have. If you have to game and don't want to run windows on your mac (which runs fine) or don't want all the features a mac has (you can't buy a stripped mac) then go buy a PC laptop and be done with it. I could care less what you own or what you do with your computer, it is after all your money and your computer. However, I will stop people from spreading ridiculous totally wrong opinions as if they were facts.
if the OP wants a Mac what the hell does it matter to you? You came here to pick an argument and you have lost. You are wrong, and I have proved it and the evidence is here in the thread. They are not over priced, but you can't buy a stripped one, so if those features do not appease your needs then don't buy it. At the same time don't say it is over priced because if you actually could build a Dell part for part exactly spec'd to a MBP, then it would cost more. Same thing with a Mac Pro, a Mac Pro is cheaper than any dual xeon Dell desktop.
