The new mac....

[expat]

Same here.

I looked at it and thought - oooh looks sexy, but hefty price. I'd be looking for a 17'' screen when paying north of £1.7k for a start, although I guess it depends what you want it for.

They are nice looking bits of kit though.

Just because it's the new Mac?

I just spent 5 minutes looking at those thinking "I wouldn't wear any of these, this is a rubbish t-shirt site.." until I realised...

I dispute that, until somebody can come up with a spec I can see it's all just speculation.

To find something comporable from dell you're probably looking at Alienware.

It depends what you define as 'spec'... apart from the GPU it doesn't seems special performance-wise.

......the Mac does look like it would be a lot tougher.

Tough my rrrrrrs - my Mums ibook is just back from having the hard drive replaced after total failure. It's already had a new keyboard under warranty. It's less than 2 years old - what crap.

It's not. It's at best 2.33 years old.

Well if one unit has a fault then obviously they are all rubbish. Have you heard of statistics?

Plus they make a big deal of the single-piece chassis, which is new on this model isn't it?
