1205444 2011-06-01 09:25:00 Don't quite agree. My observation is that, most Mac owners DON'T do their home work before purchasing it.
You are welcome to your opinion.:rolleyes:

Welcome to the real world. Not everyone is a computer expert or even slightly interested in computers for that matter.

1205447 2011-06-01 14:40:00 Nothing wrong with Apple systems except they are proprietary and expensive! That is why I use Linux!

The beauty with Macs lies in the fact that they are propretary. At least, that's the reason why a Macbook can get up to 9 hours of battery life, while most other laptops are struggling to hit 4 hours (except for ultraportables and netbooks of course).

But on the other hand, I honestly have no idea why anyone would buy a Mac. As it turn out, a lot of people around me have Macs! What's going on?

Then that's their problem if they buy an overpriced system pre-loaded with bloated cruft.

But the fact is that it IS possible to build a system which uses good quality parts and which is cheaper than a Mac or a brand name PC.

There are also people who built 'Hackintosh' systems with the same specifications as a real Mac, benchmarked the two and found the clone to be faster (And something like half the price)

The mac completely out performs the asus and only $200 more (not adding on anti-virus etc etc)

They're not actually that overpriced, and at least you get quality parts.

I believe HP and Hell are kings of bloatware, imo mac does have any

Really?? :confused:

Did you actually look at the Spec's of both.

The Asus has a HDD twice the capacity , twice the Amount of Memory, a better more modern CPU ( a Intel Core i5-460M will blow away the Intel Core 2 Duo in the MAC), Larger screen on the ASUS.

About the only thing bigger/larger in the MAC is the possible battery Life.

I'm assuming that the extra $200 goes towards the excess steel apple uses.
