what is OS X really worth?
if you dont like osx then get that laptop, otherwise get a mac laptop
I love OS X please don't misunderstand me I am only asking what is it really worth in today's market? when the internal components used to make laptops and desktops computers are dirt cheap.
Gee, lets make this a PC v. Mac thread
How unique
OSX is worth what the market will bear like anything else

Do not turn my words around I asked a very direct question, what is OS X really worth and I used a current model PC laptop as a reference point that's all.
Your very direct question had little to do with the OP's thread
You began comparing hardware costs, etc.
The worth of OSX is not related to the cost of a PC
I answered said question and posed one of my own

Did you really look at the chart?Looks like summer school shopping might not be favoring Mac. Downturn on the horizon? Discuss...

Did you really look at the chart?
September 2007:
- Mac OS --> 3.39%
- MacIntel --> 3.24%
- Total --> 6.63%
July 2008:
- Mac OS --> 2.52%
- MacIntel --> 5.23%
- Total --> 7.75%
Of course the Mac OS, read PPC version, is on the decline because PPC Macs are not being built now, and haven't been for quite a while. Notice that the MacIntel (Intel based Macs) percentage is increasing the whole time.
Regarding total Mac OS percentage, we have seen a 1.12% increase over the past 10 months.
Not bad at all.
The cap is to be expected, with apple's model, its physically not possible to expand continuously.
I was actually refering to the recent month drop (or no gain).
I was actually refering to the recent month drop (or no gain).
However, that drop is due to the Mac OS (PPC) dropping which makes sense.I was actually refering to the recent month drop (or no gain).
Now if the MacIntel version was dropping, then that would be worth noting.
No disagreement there.it is, 5.25%->5.23%. The number is too small to be meaningful. but it is actually the first dip in that chart (11 months record)
You are sooooo right Dawg! I've got a friend's PC I'm trying to get all that crap off of now. I said to them...just get a Mac already!!What is it worth to you to avoid:
Spyware
Malware
Viruses
Security updates every day
and so much more?

I turn on my Mac and just get busy doing what I need to do <spend time on MR>
I boot into Windows (on my Mac) once a week and I spend so much time downloading updates for Windows, downloading the AVG updates for antivirus protection, updating the Windows security, and then, my processing power is diluted by the background scans... I'm exhausted before I can do anything
How much is OSX worth?
It's weight in gold
