    Is $1,200 a lot of money for you?
    Would you ever consider buying a new Apple computer??

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Please, this thread is not for 'Apple computer haters' and Apple fans to do intense battle scenes. :rolleyes:
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    1. Is $1,200 a lot of money for you?
    It's one thing to pay $1,200, $1,800, even $2,400 for a single Apple computer if you have money to burn.

    People aren't quick to discuss how much $$$ they make, so just in general
    "Is ~$1,200 a lot of money for you?"

    1. Would you ever consider buying a new Apple comp??

    I would, but not this summer.
    Apples are innovative and often easier for computer newbies to use.
    They are more expensive, and tend to be high quality.

    Would you ever consider buying a new Apple comp??

    $1,200 a lot of money for me. I wouldn't spend it on a new computer as long as the old one works fine.

    13',the $1,299.00 one.
    I upgraded the RAM to 2G and bought a wireless mighty mouse as well.
    So it cost me around 1600 in total.

    Since I'm perfectly happy with windows XP I would not. Also you can get a much better computer for 1300 than a mac! I don't care about the so many viruses running abou tin PC's just get AVG and Kaspersky and your good to go!

    If you want looks then go with Apple, if you want performance then go with something else (perhaps Dell). Its much cheaper too. If I were to buy one right now, I wouldn't spend over £350 (approximately $700).
