Because it as rather random of him to say that and nothing else :D. I would never buy a Mac simply because I think the price makes it a ripoff. If I wanted to, I would go Hackintosh!

That's your opinion but some people like buying the real thing and having that apple product in their house then using Hackintosh. (No I'm not slating any hackintosh users off)

I never saw much of a change really in speed and what others have been experiencing. Anybody else got a speed increase?

With these updates, I don't hardly see "differences" but I don't go checking, because I never see the problems at he first. So yeah, i like keep being up to date with the updates so i install them.


Also to the credit option, is this your credit say from your bank or what? I know Apple do a loan situation where you pay so much a month for your mac.

That's right. You have your opinion and I have mine. To me having the "real thing" is totally irrelevant if I have to fork out an additional $1,500 dollars.
