you get what you pay for in most cases. ive said it before and ill say it again, i happily pay the price for a mac because ive made that decision. i know that we can get the faster, "better" computers in the PC world - but its not worth it from my experience. i would like to have a good graphics card for once though, not that i play games that muchYeah, and you can get THOSE in systems starting at $1200 :-/ Core i7 quad AND Geforce GTS 360 for $1300 if not a bit less.
i did want bluray, until i got a PS3 - now i use it + linux to rip the BDs digitally. i can stream the mkvs to anywhere in my house now. SOOO much easier.Well I want Blu Ray too. I use an external drive now, but most of the stuff I rent is on Blu Ray, except for older things where it's not available.
