If you are serious about music, video, or graphic design I would recommend a Mac. The entry cost is serious but I can tell you that my 2009 27" imac still runs as good as the day I bought it and has great software. Windows machines are great as well, but when it comes to music I prefer Apple as do most studios.

You don't HAVE to get a brand new one...you can grab a good deal on craigslist. Especially in a place like New York.

Hell I just got one of those unibody white macbooks in excellent condition for $208 and will be flipping it for $400
I see some on best buy...refurbished.... Don't trust it tho.... 30 day warranty and best buy don't directly sell them

The 13" mac pro retina display isn't actually that bad of a deal. You can get a student discount or price match too.

$1149

While you want a mac, if you have to ask yourself about the cost, it is not for you.

Go ahead and cop one of those acers.

Brand. Apple has shown us that people are willing shell out money for products due to brand name instead of any tangible advantages. The actual pieces inside of the laptop are no better quality than you can get with another laptop and/or replacing your own selected parts.

If you dudes think its production cost that leads to the high prices, you're fooling yourself. A good portion is for that lit up apple icon on the hood.

Just like with Beats :yeshrug:

Basically. It's a status symbol if anything.

Cause Mac's are the shyt. Get one and change your life breh

I had one for a few years went back to windows but learned that you can't buy one of those 200-400 dollar windows laptops you need a more expensive one and it still doesn't run as good as an mbp....but if you aren't into music or designing and just need a computer for Internet, office, and downloading music there are some nice cheaper computers.

i can't see paying Apple money for something i can get or build for waaaaay cheaper that is better.

The hardware/case is what makes it worthwhile though...it's hard to find a comparable windows in fact I haven't.
