And Tina, now we know why. We sit around on our $5,000 laptops where we order Chinese while we surf the web for the biggest and baddest GPU out there so we can buy 3 and stuff them inside a 1/4 inch piece of plastic that’s 30 inches wide! I’m not sure obesity is the true epidemic or if it’s just a side-effect of our need to 1-up the Johnsons next door and their uber-huge 48 pound monstrosity of a netbook(sans Swiss Army Knife). You decide…

I still have the ‘bigger better’ consumerist need when it comes to computer hardware. Do I need my new terabyte? .. .Not really. But it sure is pretty.
We decked out our house with a brand new $5,000 pc recently,and all I can think is I wish we had of gotten a mac.

I laughed at the “but we aren’t making bigger laps” … Ever watch the news? …obesity.. epidemic. Hahaha

I switched to Mac a little more than a year ago and can relate to your ‘really, really want a mac!’ feelings. I am notoriously cheap, but it was worth the extra money to get a mac as opposed to building another box. I would keep an eye on the refurb deals- I recently bought a Macbook Pro with very little difference in specs to the full price ‘new’ MBP. Saved about $500. Same warranty as new and I’ll purchase applecare, so it’s a good way to save a few dollars and still get the best computer out there.

As a life-long Mac user, I never really had to deal with the hardware nightmares that most PC users have. I only ever worried about more RAM. The downside is that if something stops working inside a Mac, you’re done. Take it back. And if it’s more than a year old, you have a $2,000 paperweight. Made of beautiful white plastic.
