Sorry i meant customer service. Apple has the genius bar, anything wrong with your computer just take to an Apple store they'll fix it for you right there. If they can't fix they pack it and send it in. When i had my Sony Vaio(which i loved) I had to pack and send it in myself. Oh yeah first i had to wait for them to send the the box to pack it in. Takes a little longer to get computer back.

About true cost, for the average person(someone that doesn't know everything about computers) there less sofware to buy such as Virus protection which needs to updated every so often. If you regular stuff on a mac nothing illegal than you don't need virus protection. I don't wanna get into a huge debate. For me personally owning my Macbook costs less than when i had my Sony. It was less for the Sony when i bought it but after owning it for a while all the extras added up. For me personally it was well worth it to get Windows on my mac. I hardly use it, but need it once in a while. Everything i posted above was all personal experience. Most people i know(not all) that were PC lovers that tried macs use it now. Including my brother who is a Computer technician. Theres articles online that explain why a mac cost less.

 
Student discount only gives $50 off a 20" Basic Imac, comes to $1149. Worth getting? Plus free shipping?

I have 2 dells in my house, one is for my brother and one is for my mom.

I have a toshiba labtop, its getting pretty crappy already...

Figure get something different....

 
Kaspersky reguarly goes on sale for like $20 for 3 PCs for 1 year. $7/computer for a year is negligible. Arguably the best protection available and I have yet to see anyone bring in an infected PC running Kaspersky.

What other software do you need that you wouldn't also need on a Mac? Maybe if you're running XP, but Vista has everything OS X has as far as basic software goes, short of a Garage Band equivalent.

The latest iMacs were released in the Spring and I wouldn't be surprised by a refresh in the coming months. If you don't need it ASAP, I'd probably wait for the new ones to come out as they'll offer up more bang for the buck.
