I have recently decided to attend MacWorld NY this year as a way to feel out the Apple side of the industry. I also plan on purchasing a new computer sometime soon and can't decide which model Mac or PC to purchase (some may remember me from my earlier posts on the same issue). It is dificult for me to see the light of Mac when a system such as this comes allong in my Best Buy add this morning:
VPR Matrix
Pentium 4 2.53GHz
15 inch Samsung LCD Flat Panel
Canon Color Printer
Altec Lansing 3-Piece Speaker system
533MHz Front-side bus
512 MB DDR Ram
Dual 80 GIG Hard drives (7200 RPM)
16X Max DVD-ROM
DVD-RW Drive
128MB DDR nVidia GForce4 Ti4200 graphics card
10/100 networking (ethernet right?)
6 USB 2.0 ports
2 Firewire ports
Total Price: $1899.96
Although I love the OS X operating system, and the iApps apple supplies are stellar, it is dificult for me to look past this system when a Mac for the same price holds far less of its power. Unless Apple releases considerable upgrades at MacWorld NYC for agreeable prices in its iMac model, I will have difficulty in letting this offer pass me up. Does anyone see my logic? Does anyone see an error in my ways? Thank You.
