So, new macbooks.

It was my largest factor when I bought mine.


Yes the Dell has a higher spec, and for cheaper but as JUMPURS has said above, and I've said before

I've had this mac for nearly 18 months now, and I've not done a single thing to it in the way of "housekeeping" and it still runs as smoothly as the day I got it. I've installed plenty of trial software, plenty of plugins/addons and still it works perfectly.

My windows desktop (when it's working) is of a higher spec than the mac, but runs a butt load slower because I never get round to "tidying" it up and doing some housekeeping on it.
