Exactly. The cost premium for a Mac is not worth it. Especially with modern PCs and recent OS improvements.

College kids like Macs. Probably because mom and dad are paying for it.

Interesting that Apple doesn’t seem to care that much about it. Maybe because Apple’s business is in cell phones, ipads, music players and media and “oh by the way the do have desktops and laptops.”

The money quote.

I’ve always disliked laptops. but if my home desktop dies, I can get a faster laptop at Costco for just a few hundred dollars and use my Microsoft natural keyboard and my large, curved monitor. The only real problem is I can’t really replace parts much. I’ve been through three video cards (stupid fan freezes up and it’s easier to just replace the whole thing).
