Did you pay over $1000 for your computer?
Because if you did, chances are you bought a Mac.
A new study shows that 91% of computer buyers who spent over $1,000 were getting a Mac.
Average selling price of your shiny white box: $1400.
Average selling price of your matte black box: $700.
So yeah, on average Mac buyers pay twice as much to get a computer. Which, well, strikes me as really dumb. I mean, what are you doing on your computer that you need to spend so much? Because if it is a Mac, you are not gaming on it. In fact, in a recent ranking (told to me by my brother James) Mac came out as the #3 gaming operating system, beaten by Linux with WINE windows emulation. Yeah. And don't try and tell me you use your Macbook Pro for photo editing. a) getting rid of red eye and cutting out the dumpster on the left of the photo does not count, and b) you dont need anything faster than a 1999 Gateway for photoshop. If you said "I run Final Cut all the time" then fine, anything less and you dont need a Mac. And anyway, if that is the case, why are you using a laptop? Do you work for Perez Hilton?
