...because you're too damned poor to buy another computer. Anyway, my 15" powerbook G4 just shipped from Shanghai. I got a pretty good deal on it.

• 1GB DDR333 SDRAM - 2x512 SO-DIMMs
• 100GB Ultra ATA drive @ 5400 rpm
• 8x SuperDrive (DVD±RW/CD-RW)
• 1.67GHz PowerPC G4 w/128MB VRAM dual
• AirPort Extreme Card
• Backlit Keyboard/Mac OS - U.S. English
• AppleCare Protection Plan for PowerBook (w/ or w/o Display)
• ATI Mobility Radeon 9700
• 15.2-inch TFT Display

It ended up costing 2428 total, which I didn't think was bad at all. And I've already ordered a for it from RadTech USA. And as soon as I get it I'm prolly going to pick up an iSight, iCurve, Final Cut Pro, and a game...I haven't decided what one yet.

Seriously guys, you can't compare Mac and Windows... There's just no way. Both systems have a lot of plus points (yes, this is me :D) and both have downsides. For games, Windows is a definate go (besides consoles that is, but you didn't hear this from me), and if you're more interested in computers 'just' for work, school, video/audio editing, (web)design or something similar to that, get a fancy mac!

Question, did any of you 'total Windows freaks' watch those 'introduction' movies on apple's site about OSX 10.4? Man those animations are slick! The widgets stuff (although ) is really nicely animated (drop a widget and it makes a splash effect! Kickass!).

I think I gave just about enough info to start a flame war, so if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna step aside to get a nice view :D.

Microsoft would get called even worse shit then they already are if they realesed a new version of Windows every year costing you $100+.

Mac = style over everything, if you care about who will see you on your laptop get a mac. If you care about getting stuff done get windows laptop.

/dons flame suit.

What're you trying to do, recreate the big bang or something? Besides, IIRC the x86 is faster for computational stuff anyway.
