i still think the arguments here are extremely defensive for PC's. Don't PC's have .... 80-90% market share? What's with the hate lol

I don't really think mac's are outrageously priced for their innards. hp came close to apple's physical quality with they envy, but no surprises, it costs even more than a macbook (both have +'s and -'s). I only buy the refurbs, and I don't think the differences amount to a difference of $500+, especially for the aluminum casing and zero flex on the chasis, plus another OS.

Who in their right mind would recommend a hackintosh to their parent's or the next computer illiterate person? If anything, this is a chance to learn two OS's and have the flexibility between the two. Any issue with a mac can be equally handy to solve with google as well.

I agree with most apple users wanting to be cool and following the trend. but the 99% don't know shit about technology is just BS. If you truly knew about technology like you're trying to sound like, mac should be even easier and more intuitive to use compared to MS's UI. I use both, XP>SL>W7 on two machines. They're equally great to use and deserve to be tried by all.

But for those that only want the great screens, the Dell Ultrasharps and certain NEC models have 110% color gamut as well, you don't 'have' to get a mac or this.

The 27" iMac's are supposedly a bargain for what you get, aside from the recent DOA issues.
