The $799 mark for a machine comparable to a $900 Mac is actually with decent hardware that you probably won't need to replace till it's time to think about upgrading again anyway. With cheap hardware you're looking at around the $500ish mark.
That and in my experience Macs aren't as high on the quality scale as Apple says and Mac users believe. They're midgrade quality at best. -----Original Message----- From: Ray Champagne [mailto:r...@raychampagne.com] Sent: Friday, July 30, 2010 9:57 AM To: cf-community Subject: Re: Todo program ...that you will replace in < 1 year most likely after the cheap drive fails or some card fries? The hardware aspect of "those expensive Macs" hardly ever gets thrown into the mix when talking costs, but I bet if you looked at the lifespan of most PCs vs Macs, the macs would be at least comparable over time in service. Plus, paying a little extra for solid hardware and the look and feel is worth it in my opinion.
