That's isn't fully why I want a Mac because of the specs.

And didn't I say I already made my mind up?

Where else can I get an operating system to look so aesthetically pleasing to the eye, and have developers develop awesome software for the system?

They are all cheap!

Lets compare some laptops:




Look, I am not here for a biased review. I just think an Apple will give me my best bang for the buck. I can run Windows, Windows Vista, Mac OS X, Linux, all on one machine! YouTube Link

Not only because of the hype behind Apples, but from past expierence. Over the last 6 months, whenever I go to a CompUSA I played with iMac's, Mac Pro, MacBook, and MacBook Pros.

Thanks for the suggestion KewL, but I will never think about spending 2,000$ for a laptop that I didn't want.

Thanks.

Just a thought, when / if your order one, you can save a lot of money if you buy the extra RAM and a larger HDD from third party stores. There are many that have been tested and work with the MacBook (Pro) and they are very easy to add to the laptop.

Yah, I can't justify spending 175$ on 1 gig of ram, longer shipping.

Shows you how, plus theirs documents on the Apple site.

I don't plan on getting a internal HD, but an external.

Yeah it's very simple. Compare that to changing the HDD on an iBook or Powerbook.

Why can't I replace the gig that's in there with the 2 I would buy? And I am sure they match up or else they wouldn't be in the Mac Laptop section of Newegg.
