because, even if you buy a pc with the same specs, macs have nicer hardware, plus the hardware is more reliable.

So .. It isn't true that the Macs are overpriced, as I've heard of a lot of people?

Eh, you're mostly paying for the design and the operating system. The design is great but, for me, it's just not worth the price premium. I'd rather get a laptop that is more powerful (I'm a gamer, after all) at the expense of elegance and more reliable hardware according to some. My sister's Macbook actually feels a little flimsy in places, such as the hinge.

Most companies don't develop for macs is why.

Simply put, they are too expensive, and you can't really upgrade them at all, so companies don't feel it's worth the effort to develop for them. And in most cases it's not.

Oh, Buying a mac and installing windows so you can play games? Fucking stupid, you just wasted about $600 or more.

Simply put,

Mac is for people that design, surfing, create and enjoy socialing on easy scale with everything installed.
It has less virus and the design of mac is kind of "Stylish white".
The hardware and everything you need are installed with the drivers inside and has an excellent support.

Pc or Computer installed with windows on the other hand is made for the things beside mac... MOSTLY gaming, downloading, coding and so on. But the gaming is what windows is focused at.
It has alots of virus, piracy and there is like any design.

Mac is what I want, But $ is the problem.

I have a wall... So don't wait just post something on ma wall!!
Or else I will hit a keyboard in ya face!!! ^-^

There are only a few games for Mac and they cost more than the Windows versions. Macs in general cost more than Windows computers. I'm poor so I'm a Windows guy.

Macs literally cost twice as much as a PC of similar configuration. With Mac your mostly paying for the case and the brand. The hardware isn't any better than a Dell or HP (ok its probably a bit better). But the point is, if you're worried about quality, go build your own laptop or desktop. And with the fanboy thing, Windows fanboys are just as bad (sometimes), Linux IMO has the most annoying fanboys, always arguing how "superior" Ubuntu or Fedora or Mandriva is. They infiltrate every Mac or Windows article and infect it with their messages of open source goodness.

I love PC's but decided to try out a mac, so I got a black Macbook awhile back and it was pretty cool and all for school stuff, (the thing hardly got 25fps in WoW). But then it got stolen and now I'm back to PC's because they are superior.
