Since 1989, I have owned Dell, IBM, Compaq, Hewlett Packard and others so I had to try a MacBook Pro. I purchased VM software so I could run Windows on it. It is somewhat slow when I use the PC capabilities of Mac but it is convenient not to have to turn on my Dell XPS (which is 6 years old and still works great, though a little show). There are still quite a few real estate programs that require Windows so I had to ad the capabilities to my Mac. With me, the verdict is still out…I am still attached to my Dell XPS.

I have owned many computers since 1981 when I was an engineering student (freshman) at Purdue and the IBM PC was introduced. I have been through CPM(computer program for microcomputers), MS DOS, DR DOS, Wang VS mini computers, X windows, MS Windows, Sun Microsystems, Digital, etc. My personal computers have varied from lugables, desktops, notebooks, subnotebooks, etc. I have owned 40+ since 1981, and built several myself. Currently I own 9 Macs running various versions of OSX (and a couple occaisionally run Windows XP using Parallels), and one Dell notebook running Windows XP. There is no comparison between the Macs and the PC and it all comes down to something I call “Design Coherence”. The Mac is clearly hardware built by people who create software. There is an elegance of execution based on everything working together as a coherent system. Specifications don’t tell the story. It is similar with automobiles. I have owned many …and my current Porsche 911 is more coherent than the Vette Z06 it replaced. It is not as fast on the track, can’t beat the numbers. But the sum of the parts exceed the expected result. Something which is overpriced on brand is something like Grey Goose Vodka. Not really better than many cheaper vodkas. But when it comes to Mac … it is delivered value. You are paying for the software and the hardware. The PC is a batch of parts with a starter kit of software.

I will say we are a 2 system household so I feel I can speak to the subject. We have both a PC and a MAC and hands down any day I want to do something quickly I will pick up the MAC. We didn’t even get the Pro, just the regular Macbook. Much better system performance, less hanging and crashes vs. the PC that we have that technically has ‘better’ specs. To me it comes down to a quantity vs. quality. Adding resources to a PC won’t get you nearly the same result as adding resources to a Mac because the Mac uses its system resources much more efficiently without loops in the software and memory leaks. I’ll take the quality of the Mac over any bigger numbers and quantity of a PC any day. Actually, the only thing I touch the PC in my house for is programs that I don’t have a Mac version (they are available, I just bought them on the PC before we had the Mac) I think that in and of itself speaks to the superior performance of the Mac.

good, Point made.

I say its yummy capitalism.

Apple has positioned themselves as the Mercedes of computers.

This luxury can either be dwindling or transcendent like Ferrari or Rolex.

so far its still a buy as people flock to buy their products at a premium. They have meticulously managed their image, product delivery and service reminiscent of a young wal-mart coming up on old Kmart in the 80′s.

For someone with a plan to become a Billionaire the lesson from this is simple.

Increase the perceived value of all goods for sale its the easiest way to increase profit margin vs competition.
