So, I'm getting a mac! My mom said that her friend's daughter has a mac laptop that is has a touch screen. Idk if that is true or not, but she said I could get that or a macbook. She also said there is a sale on Windows 7 at costco, so should I get that? Please say why.

Macs are way overpriced.

Too bad that the largest Hackintosh seller was sued by Apple for millions. @TS: Go legit. Macs are the best thing you can go with right now. @Everyone else: For those of you who say they are "too pricey", you are getting what you pay for. Leopard is one of the best, and most stable operating systems on the market today. And plus, apple makes their hardware.

I love Macs, and I want one, especially for Photoshop&Painter. The screen resolution is effing.sakdfj <3 But, anyhow, I don't see the point of installing Windows on a Mac.

I found i loved my 17" iMac for about a week and then couldn't stand it. It's with my sister now

I also found a way to put Windows 7 on a mac. Does it also have macs features? Can I just switch back to mac if I wanted to, without doing the process all over again? I'm probably going to get a '13 macbook pro

A majority of the components in Macs are not made by Apple. And if you want stability, get a Linux distro. It's coding is similar OSX for the most part and available for 0% of the price of OSX.

The CPUs are all made by Intel, half of the GPUs are made by NVIDIA, the RAM is made by another third party retailer, and the hard drive is probably made by a third party retailer as well.
