My email to someone who has hesitated in buying a Mac, because of the “Apple tax.”
Have you checked out the refurbished Mac offerings? You can typically save between 15-30%. I’ve bought my second refurbished Mac now, and have no complaints.
They have the same rigorous testing and one-year warranty that new Macs have, and I haven’t encountered any problems with them. I got lucky with my latest purchase, which was supposed to include 2 GB of RAM, but actually came with 4!
Most of the extra cost of a Mac are because they’re more solid, stable, easier to use, and have a lot longer battery life than similarly priced PCs.
