    Mac or PC

    Ok, i was wondering this: Since most of you know that im getting $500 next weekend, i was going to buy an brand new hp desktop. But i looked on Ebay and found Mac laptops like ibook g4's for insanely low prices. I was wondering, is an mac as good as i hear? Also all of the schools computers are some form of macs.

    I have seen a lot of Mac users swear by their laptops.

    I do not care for Macs, personally.

    After all the flack in the thread that is now locked, all the advice telling you to buy a whitebox PC ignored because you swore you'd only buy HP, ad nauseum.....

    Now you start this?

    Macs are great but beware buying one from eBay if you know nothing about them. Some of the low priced ones down here also have very low specs too, not enough RAM, too small hard drive etc. If it won't run OSX don't buy it.

    Well, since im buying one off of ebay i havent really looked there. But i do know the minimum requirements for OS X and i double that to get the recommended. But i am going to buy an new Ipod Nano from www.apple.com with my name engraved in the back of it. And reggie is going to the vets next weekend so no reason to worry.
