Jewels 0 #26 June 10, 2009 QuoteQuoteThey seem to cost more They don't. Compare the actual specs straight across and they run right in the same price range as Compaq, Dell and company. It's just that Apple doesn't make any low end series, so you can't compare on the bottom end. I saw an article today that announced price cuts on the models they are closing out. If you're interested, now could be a good time to look.

skittles_of_SDC 0 #27 June 10, 2009 Quotethat only works if you also buy the mobileme service. $99 a year a i think, but worth it. you can get the same features for free, but not the integration. i sold a co-worker an older imac. he picked up a time machine on the way home, and had an ipod touch within a few days. they're great separately, they're amazing together! That's to get stuff pushed to your iPhone over the air. I'm talking about when you plug it into your Mac. When you plug it in it does all those things.

AND it came with a free 8GB iTouch (well, I had to pay for it but I get it all back in a rebate!). She shore is purdy! 'Shell Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, they would be a lot MORE tempting if I had a wad of cash in my bank account. . . . I just did payroll deduction. Nothing like walking in there with some forms, and walking out with it. No cash involved (well, directly involved). Did the same with my iMac a few years back. Never even noticed it coming off the cheque each month!
