Are Macs Really Overpriced?
The other day my mom asked my advice on a new notebook computer - she was comparing two models from HP - both with 17" screens, reasonable amounts of RAM and hard disk space, and a dual core processor.
Both around $700.
I really wanted to suggest she buy a Mac, but how could I tell her that the right answer was to spend $1700 more to get a macbook pro with the 17" screen she wanted?
All arguments about component/build quality aside - that's a serious chunk of money.
