Yes, I know some Macs are more expensive. My point was that y'all act every Mac is more expensive by a great deal. Some are more expensive some are less expensive depending on what you want.
Apple hardware (iPods, Laptops, Desktops) Are a study in design which is what you pay for, not what's in them. (Case in point: Macbook Air)
I told you already the Mac Pro is cheaper than the comparable Dells and HPs. Mac Pro is the tower desktop. Not to be confused with the MacBook Pro which is what you quoted.
Yeah, but any knowledgeable PC user who wants performance at a good price is not going to buy a Dell desktop. They're going to order the parts separately and build their own. And doing that, they'll end up with a much better computer at a cheaper price.
But anyway, is this a Mac vs. PC debate or the New Toys thread?
Speaking of Macs, went down to Seattle during the long weekend to pick up an iPhone but they were sold out (everywhere). Have decided to wait for the new iPhone and for it to get hacked. iPhone owners - is this a good idea?

Also, that MacBook Pro you quote in $2,700 in the US. The currency isn't 1 to 1.
the dell is $1790. much much cheaper.
EDIT: also to build a rig comparable to mine (1x quad core between 2.8 (apple) and 3.0 (mine), 4 gb ram, 4 500GB drives, 8800 card (apple has 8800gt, I have 2 8800GTX), soundcard, keyboard mouse etc...when I built mine in august it cost $3500 (with 23" monitor, can be done now for about $2000), the apple was $4500 without monitor.
......like those stupid tribal imprints HP is putting on their portables now.
