RAM, you could upgrade, but only an 80 gig hard drive? No DVD writer and a not that great video card. At over $600 (CDN).
I guess it's okay for people who aren't that tech oriented.

I'm wondering if this is comparing apples and oranges

This is good not only for Apple and IBM, but also for alternative x86 vendors, especially AMD.

Let me put it this way
If God gave me a coupon for a free Apple computer, it would STILL be a waste of money I just see them as ... not as usefull compared to PCs, With windows I can run 8 things at once and keep track of them, FTPing, Browsing, Music Transfers to my NetMD, Instant messaging, programing, MS OneNote for notes. And All the windows are all shown organized in the Taskbar, but with Apple OSX, there IS NO taskbar.
You are forced to figgit with the clumsy windows or use the Expose feature. Me and a buddy made jokes about how hard-core mac fans only run one program at a time, lol, Windows has it's own issues we all know, but when It comes to getting something done, XP for me.
I'd rather have my COMP crash every 3 months than be forced to use a Mac.
And say hi to the next spyware program you get.

AnimeHeretic wrote:Well if it works for you, fine. I was just suprised that someone mentioned it as an advance, when in the PC world, the taskbar was seen as an advance over the old alt+tab switching. I haven't used it since the taskbar came out, because it's easier to just pick out which app I want instead of switching.
