    The 13-inch MacBook is the most liked laptop by the experts. It simply has everything most users need and want in design so superb that it’s now a modern icon. It has 12 hours plus battery life. The air keeps its 13-inch screen at just 1,440 by 900 pixels, which is somewhat low-resolution compared to its rivals and especially the 13-inch MacBook Pro. Airs screen probably saves both battery life and cost, and it’s still fantastic. The speakers sound…

    Based on the information listed above, the computer with the best value would odviously be the HP Pavilion Laptop. Not only does it perform better it has more memory and it Costs $200 less than the Apple MacBook Air. The MacBook beats the Pavilion on appearance in my opinion, but appearance doesn’t matter very much. The MacBook also weighs less, but would you really be willing to sacrifice more money for something a couple pounds lighter. The HP Pavilion may not be as attractive or sport the thinness of a MacBook Air, but the technological aspects are far greater and the cost is less. After all it’s what’s on the inside that counts.…

    Mac computers are expensive and everyone knows that. What everybody doesn’t know is that in the long run they will inevitably save more money if they purchase one. With Boot Camp (which is free with any Mac) you can run any operating system simultaneously with Mac OS X, which basically gives you two computers for the price of one. Also if you were to buy a regular Macbook which starts at $1299 and took a Dell XPS M1330 and bought an upgraded battery to match that of the Macbook and also bought Adobe Photoshop and Premiere Elements which is the equivalent of iPhoto and iMovie applications which come free with iLife on any Macbook then the Dell would cost $1308 with all the upgrades to make it comparable to the Macbook. Also Macs aren’t targets of spyware and viruses to the degree of PC’s so you won’t have to spend money on maintenance and repair with Macs like you would a PC. (Common Myths)…

    When buying a Mac there aren’t many options to choose from. Apple only offer three to four models such as the iMac, MacBook and the Mac Pro. None of these models sell for under 1000$ and can run as high as 4000$. But when purchasing a PC there are dozens of different options. On average a 400$-500$ computer will be good for most common users. If a person wants a computer for gaming then a 1000$ PC will run most new games with a hitch, on the other hand a 1000$ Mac would not even come close to playing the modern games.…
