I'm stuck! Mac VS. HP (part 2)

[sabrina860]

So in relation to my other thread:
So tell me why I need a Mac

I've narrowed it down to an HP package:

Laptop, desktop, netbook and wireless router for $1299.


-OR-
Mac Book Pro

Compared to the HP package... less memory, less HD space and smaller screen for $1199.


help me choose!

how do you expect a honest answer without the specs for all of the above?
it does depends which macbook are we talking about and more important - which HP specs are we talking about?
getting all of that for 1300$ sound like you get a lot of junk for that money.
it seems weird to get a screen, PC, laptop, netbook and a router for just 1300$.

who cares about the specs... just look at the pictures.

Why not forget about all the peripheral crap with the HP (as MrJones says, how good can they be for that price?) and spend the same amount on a single super-PC, like this one from Dell? $1159 for Quad 2.26Ghz processor, 320gb HDD, 2gb memory, 19" widescreen monitor (very useful for PP).

went through the same process last year.
I decided to get a 13" macbook pro for portability and added an external 24" screen and a wireless keyboard and mouse later on for the comfort of home use.

well, hell, if you don't care about specs, try a Gameboy. Or, better yet, Gameboy Advance...

Windows all the way unless you have money to throw in the trash, then get a Mac.

BTW those MacBook Pro screens are horrible so plan on buying an external monitor if you want to do anything remotely accurate especially if you get a glossy screen good luck with that.

My cat uses my MacBook Pro as a body warmer and I'm happy with that because that's about the only thing it does right.

I'd put it to better use.
