The one thing that lead you astray was [when I compare the cheapest Mac to the cheapest HP] - you are allowing HP to set the standard for cheapest components.
The author deliberately took the time to upgrade either configuration to par, so he was comparing apples to apples. Your "200 bucks" was from comparing apples to oranges. You are chasing the bottom pricing. That is not comparing fairly or honestly. Thank you, Mark Snyder -----Original Message----- If he'd compared low end macbook to low end HP, the HP would have won out by about 200 bux. I can drive down to Fry's right now and get a HP configured with twice the memory, 2 inches larger screen, larger HD all for about 200 less then if I buy the macbook they sell next to it. <snip> ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
