Of course the HP does have a better GPU but overall I'd say the Mac is right in line price wise. Granted, in 6 months the HP will be updated with the latest tech and possibly be cheaper but when new Macs first come out they are competitive price-wise. | | | |

Viet: That is AWESOME!
I suppose it was just a matter of time. Ballmer has been systematically leading Microsoft down the wrong road for the past decade with poor leadership and bad business decisions. The Microsoft of today is nothing like the Microsoft of the late 80's and early 90's - just like the Apple of today is a whole new animal. It's going to be an interesting decade for sure. | | | |

Used all three as well. None of them are the end all solution. They all have their short comings and advantages to one another. How about we combine all three... | | | |
