For half that you can buy a name brand windows laptop that will cruise the internet as well or better than the apple. Why better? Some sites require plug ins that aren't installed on Macs. You can hunt around to make a Mac work, but a windows computer will work right out of the box.
Dude not again, cruising the net is probably one of the least intensive things that you can do with any computer and does not heavily task them at all. It's by no means a benchmark to use to compare any computers.

Some sites require plug ins that you have to hunt for to make a Mac work? That's the biggest load of BS I've heard.

So prove me wrong and name them. Cause I've yet to come across a site that required an additional plug-in download on my Mac.
