Hi Josh, True, but there is a down side to buying cheap computers, and that is the hardware doesn't last long. I have owned many affordable e-machines for Windows and Linux, and I am here to say that in the main the hardware lasts about two years and dies.
I'll give you an example here. The Compaq Presario I am using right now has had numerous hardware replacements in the five years since I purchased it from Walmart. First the CD/DVD drive died and needed replaced, the keyboard stopped working and needed replaced, the power supply had to be replaced, and now it looks like I am going to have to get a new case fan for the laptop case. I don't know what cheap parts Compaq, AKA HP, is using in there budget machines but I have had more problems with this laptop than I have ever had with a more expensive system. the point I am getting at is I know people with Mac's who purchased their laptop right about the same time I got this Compaq and have had less troubles with the hardware in that PC than I have had. The deciding factor is that they paid about $1500 for their laptops and I paid about $500 for mine. So I do believe you get what you pay for, and when it comes to reliability Mac's do pay off in less down time. Cheers!
