Are Mac's Worth It?
Why do you need 32GB of RAM. Nobody needs 32GB of RAM.
That Mac is a total waste of money, I just built a PC with the same ridiculous specifications, even better in some categories, on NewEgg and it came out to $10,444.13 including shipping.
Truth is that Macs aren't worth it at all, think of what you could do with an extra $14,000 in your pocket...

The boy knows his stuff!!!
And I agree, Mac's are not worth it. Just pure advertising brain wash more more than half of their users. Its like a bad fad.
Mac's are well worth it. Their OS is much more stable than anything from microsoft.
Example, my former computer with Windows 98 would lock up while Internet Explorer was running.
Ten years later, in 2009, my new laptop with Vista does the same exact thing.
You get what you pay for. My next one will be an apple. I refuse to reward poor beta testing with my money any longer.

Mac makes a good product, they are more expensive and a little less vulnerable to viruses and spyware. Now to me they are not worth the extra money, I build my own computers so I like to upgrade and I don't like that you cant upgrade a mac. When it gets slow you have to replace it with another 3,000 dollar machine. With my PC I can change processors and graphics cards for 600 bucks and torch the mac again in speed and price.
Yup windows is junk.
Maybe its the operator
