An upgrade that consist of upgrading the processor to a new motherboard - is considered as buying a new computer... (-_-)a. Upgrading a gfx card, Tower macs can do that too, and also true for upgrading memory or adding a storage controller... PCs aren't "easier to upgrade", you just got used to the fact that you can build PCs from ground up, but not Macs. Just my 2cents, zzz2496 If you get the right type of PC notebook, that upgrade is possible as well. I've done it to a notebook I once owned--took a single core Turion64 proc and replaced it with a dual core Turion64X2. It can be done and it is not as hard as some would make it to be--just keep track of your screws! zzz2496 |

Since the majority of software that I use is PC based and I have very limited experience with any Apple software, I don't see a compelling reason to spend extra money on the Apple hardware and then buy a Windows license and run my Windows software on that Apple computer. Others with differing needs may feel significantly different. I have no inherent issues with Apple laptops. They look nice, they have great screens, the multi-touch pad is great, the magnetic power is a nice feature, they wake up from sleep almost instantly, etc. However, I don't really like the drab gray everything in OS X, I don't like the centralized menu, I don't like the process of installing and uninstalling software by dragging an icon around, etc. |

| | It depends. If it were my money, I'd skip a lappy entirely and just build a desktop PC. While I appreciate the convenience of bringing a laptop with you, I have no personal need and also because having a (company) laptop and cellphone comes with the expecation you're available at all times. I had one of those hats on for a few years, and dont' like being reminded. If it were someone else's money? Buy the mac.... ...then sell the Mac on eBay and have enough to build a *STOMPIN'* rig... |

| | I would take the PC. Everything about Apple, from their jacked up prices to their increasingly orwellian business practices, make me sick. I think Jon Stewart said it best when he was talking about the iphone leak: The Daily Show with Jon Stewart: Appholes (Video) |
