yet people spend thousands on clothing and accessories because of the name attached to it...Jackolantern wrote:Soo...are Macs really just PCs with Mac OSX in them now?

slap the word gucci onto a top and you can bump up the price...
thats all people are really interested in now days, is the name associated with the product. i have an iphone and severly regret getting it lol, but its an iphone man... tis all about the 'i' compared to other phones i have seen it is complete crap lol... but shite happens :p
mind you i would still loooooove a macbook just for the sheer hell of saying i have one
, unfortunatly its the way poeple work nowdays.would you liek a ferrari, porche or a lambo?? well ofc you would... why? because they are what they are. when ever will you get a chance to really throttle the fooker to its limits without risking being killed or pulled over?? again its the name it holds that attracts people to the object
I would rather get the product that is going to be most functional, usable, economical, etc. The Ferrarri, Porche and Lambo comparison really isn't right, though, since those cars cost much more because they offer much more (about 650 HP more than your average Toyota lol). If you never have the chance to push it, that is a personal problem, not a limitation with the car 
funny how that works..
