26. The Value QuestionOne of the biggest myths out there is that "Macs cost more." As Chris Seibold noted in "The Evolution of Mac Pricing" (www.applematters.com, 9/25/06), the high-end Mac Pro costs significantly less than an identically equipped Dell. A MacBook may cost more than a laptop from a big box store. But will the bargain PC have the same features, be as reliable, or run both Windows and Mac OS X? When comparing Macs to PCs, be sure you're comparing apples to Apples. Which costs more: the computer that "just works"or the computer that freezes up, crashes, and requires rebooting regularly? |
