I can agree that purchase one..maybe two warranties on products can be a wise choice. This is especially true if you are in a financial situation where you shouldn't be purchasing the product in the first place. Or if you're in a situation where wasting your time on downtime would be a

Another thing to definitely consider. but getting back to the topic at hand, i'd summarize the conversation as the following: Mac - It's much more expensive but a better value and you'll be very happy PC - You'll be reasonably happy and have more money in your pocket but you'll have a higher

Hey all, I'm heading to India for my honeymoon and the entire summer and plan to vlog and do some interviews from there. I *do not* plan to bring my macbook. I just want to bring a firewire or usb cable and upload at cafes. It needs to be small, light and easy to travel with and have decent

I always recommend Sony. T300, I think it takes 10MP pictures now. Mine is a T100, and it takes 8MP pictures. In fine 640x480 mode, the movies are as good as from a video camera (IMHO), and it's a lot smaller than an xacti, and it's flat so you can slip it in the front pocket of your pants if you

true, but we're talking about notebook computers. I think we would both agree that Mac notebooks are generally much more expensive (though a better value) than notebook PCs available in Best Buy for example. Macbooks start at 1099 USD, whereas Bestbuy Notebook PCs start at half the price. I

Most of the active people on this list use Mac, but I would question wheather that everyone on this list has agreed PC's are harder to use.I frequent the DVX fourms and a lot and I mean A LOT of people there use PC's to edit. I know I may not be in your league Rox ;) but I think me

My dear Heath, I do not mean to disparage anyone, especially you. I am merely tired of the mac is more expensive than PC mis-conception. It was true in the 80's, maybe some of the 90's, but not here in the new century, especially when you map components side by side. Most people who disparage
