You can probably buy 3 netbooks for a 13" Macbook.  LOL

Macbook:
- White Polycarbonate - $1199 - Core 2 Duo 2.0Ghz+GF9400 video
- Aluminum - $1399 - Core 2 Duo 2.0Ghz+GF9400 video, 13" LED LCD
- Aluminum -$1799 - Core 2 Duo 2.4Ghz+GF9400 video, 13" LED LCD, Backlit keyboard

Yes, with the amount of money for a Mac, you can buy 2 or 3 PC notebooks. That's the cost to be cool I guess. Mac usually don't get obsolete for at least 2 years. My mid-2007 Macbook with T7200 (2.0Ghz) is still super fast (with some upgrades like WD Black Drive & HyperX memory)

I also use a HP HDX16 at work, it's actually pretty decent. It is a Macbook Pro killer for the price and spec.

Mac is by far so much more stable and easier to use the any PC (Windows 7 maybe the exception), software wise, I think Aperature is slightly better and easier to learn than Photoshop. On the hardware side, Macs are NOT any more reliable than PCs.

Of course, you can dual boot any Mac to Windows with Boot Camp, then you can run XP, Vista, Windows 7. I am using XP most of the time on my Mac anyways.

I am not too sure about the exact pricing caz I am not into sales now. I am just an Apple tech who happens to be a heavy PC user... heehee..

I don't mind using a Mac, just that for what I want to do... PC can do it better.
