Default Any Mac Users Here?

Since I switched over in January I have never been happier. I got a MacBook Black,with the 2.2 GHz. I upgraded the HD to 320g so I would have room for Bootcamp. I maxed out the RAM to 4g, it's much cheaper than getting it from Apple.

I have an external firewire for Time Machine, which is great.

There are new MacBooks, MacBook Pro's, and a MacBook Air coming out on Tuesday the 14th. They will have an aluminum base (maybe).

I guess there will be a MacBook priced at $800.

"Hello, I'm a Mac."

Switched 2 years ago and haven't looked back. 15" MacBook Pro and 24" iMac user both with Leopard and a 1TB Time Capsule....and of course a 1st Gen iPhone.

I don't use Bootcamp as I don't want to infect my babies with Windows. The only place where I'm forced to use Windows is at work...but at least it's XP.

But yeah the new Macbook line should look sweet. Can't wait to see them this Tuesday!

I use a Mac... for comparison purposes to demonstrate how much more I get for the money when building a PC.

My school's Macs run both OS, I simply use Windows because I grew up with it and it easier for me. But I do love how easy things are on Macs(film,music and photo editing etc) I just can't bring myself to own one.

Macs run nicely, but I can't justify the prices. I can build a top-of-the-line PC for $800-1000 whereas a comparable Mac would be well over $2,000.

I will be curiously watching the announcement on Tuesday. I am certainly not anti-Mac. In fact I owned one and loved it, but it didn't work out for me because I was trying to use it in a work environment that simply would not work with the Mac, nor did they or have they ever made any changes in that regards. If I got one now it would be very personal use only.

I am thinking with the Economy being so tight that Mac may shock us with some real dramatic price drops. Then again I could be wrong!

Buy the new stock MacBook and I'll show you where I got my RAM & HD for great prices.

You'll be drinking the Kool-Aid soon........

My other huge Mac problem... I'm a gamer. Not really an option to go Mac in that case.
