    i'm going to try to make this as short and sweet as possible
    i really like mac's despite the fact that ive never owned one, i like their design but more importantly the OS

    that being said, i think im going to get a new laptop for school this year, battery life is most important and portability, but i can find that in both macs and pcs

    im basically trying to decide between getting a mac (which is proving difficult because I know a new macbook/pro is coming soon just a question of when) and getting a nice pc for way less probably and just putting OS X on the pc as the OS (which is supposed to be fairly easy for any dual core processors and up now)

    one would say they are ultimately the same, however the pc option is sure to run me alot less, id just like to know if anyone has faced this same dilemma or has thoughts on it

    thanks for ur input

    if you are getting a laptop, Mac is the only way to go.

    NBR does not allow the discussion of EULA breaking activities for any reason.

    If you want to use OSX, then do yourself a favor and get a apple computer.
