I agree with Ken here. The only thing I use that's an Apple is my iPod. And even then, it died on me after a year of use. Luckily, I had purchased the 2 year apple care plan for it. Had I not, I would have been screwed and would have to buy a new one.
If I were getting a mac, I would buy the longest warranty possible for it.
However, I wouldn't buy a mac, just because I want my computer to do more than graphics, video editting, music, etc. - I want to play games. And I don't care what any mac user says - you really can't do that on a mac. Maybe soon because of the Windows booting ability, but on a straight mac you just can't game.
However - this laptop looks pretty decent. Still pricey though. Gimme a call when Apple sells a notebook for under a thousand and we'll talk.
Anyone else think those new commercials are just stupid? Clearly macs are for hip young people while windows based machines are for old, non tech savy people...
I close with a funny CTRL+ALT+DEL comic that shouldn't be clicked on unless you're okay with a bit of foul language -
