MACS VS DELL/GATEWAY

[ASUHORNET]

I WOULD ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO INVEST IN A MACBOOK OR A MACBOOK PRO. THIS NOTEBOOK IS AWESOME!!!! DELL/GATEWAY LAPTOPS CAN"T EVEN COME CLOSE IN COMPETING WITH THE MAC.:nod2: www.apple.com or go to any Apple store retailer in your area, if you live in the DC area, shop at stores at Pentagon City, Tyson's Corner, or Columbia(MD) Mall.

I bought Mac Pro just before football season. It's powereful and lightweight. Slides right into my camera bag. I doubt that I will buy another Microsoft machine.

I almost purchased a Dell Inspiron E1505 earlier this week. It was on sale for $749.

Dell also have a new laptop that looks just like a briefcase. It is called the XPS M2010.

I think I'll check out the MacPro.

MacBook and MacBook Pro are twice the cost of my equivalent Lenovo machines and they run hotter - a lot hotter - which makes me very leary of them.

I'm sticking with my Thinkpads

It's designed to let heat dissipate through the case. The fan comes on and stays on to keep it operating at normal temperatures.

Did you put bootcamp on yours yet? If so how do you like it?

I've been using an iBook for the past 4 years and love it! I have a 24-inch iMac and a MacBook Pro coming soon, placed the order yesterday.

Here's a portion of a review about the new iMac and Mac Pro. Select link for full review.

Macs now have plenty of muscle for serious computer users


JULIO OJEDA-ZAPATA
On my tight budget, a low-end consumer computer is all I can afford. I can dream, though. What would I get, with a few more bucks to throw around?

This is a real-life concern for serious computer hobbyists with hardcore chores ? high-end gaming, for instance, or complex video or photo editing ? and the cash to invest in brawny hardware.

Average consumers who seek to future-proof themselves also have to weigh the costs. More computer will buy extra time before dreaded obsolescence sets in.

The obvious choice here is a high-end PC from Dell or HP. But I have an unorthodox recommendation: a Macintosh computer.

Macs used to be pricey but anemic compared with their PC brethren, in large part because of underpowered PowerPC processors. That is no longer the case. Today's Macs use PC-style Intel processors, which give them comparable performance and let them run PCs' Windows operating system along with Apple Computer's own Mac OS X. Mac prices are roughly comparable to PC prices, too.

I test-drove Apple's two top desktop machines: the Mac Pro tower and the 24-inch iMac. I found both computers to be tempting options for PC and Mac veterans alike.
