[QUOTE="superczar, post: 1059731, member: 281"] Bond, with Macs, it's usually not a question of specs to specs comparison.. and leave the design entirely out of the question.. I have a 5 year old mac mini that is still running solid as a 24x7 machine and is used on a daily basis as a movie/browsing machine as for lappies, i was an obsessive compulsive switcher till i switched to a macbook (ask any of the old timers on TE :P ) To be honest, macs have helped me save quite a bit of moolah :) I really cannot explain why, because it's not just one thing... it's a combination of multiple small things... e.g. the fact that now I treat my lappy as an instant on consumer device rather than a computer.. can't remember the last time I shut it down... I just close the lid on the unplugged machine and I know it'll be ready to roll next morning, or shove it in my backpack knowing it will be all good 30 mins later, or hell, even when i wake it up 3 days later after an extended weekend outing (not that windows cannot handle sleep, but it's nowhere as elegant and seamless... e.g. my office windows lappy requires a restart every 2nd to 3rd day coz either the wireless card will start acting up on emerging from repeated sleep cycles, or some process wil go bonkers) [/QUOTE]
