The only thing thats close to a Mac is a Hackintosh, which are illegal. They are basically any PC's running Mac OS X. However, it infringes upon the Mac OS X license to do so. No PC is close to a Mac because they all run Windows. If you don't know the difference between Windows and Mac OS X then you probably shouldn't be worried about getting a Mac computer (you probably just want it because it looks nice). If you want a good PC in terms of build quality, good customer service, and good bang for the buck try Lenovo's they are good solid PC's. They are VERY plain looking compared to Mac's BUT they are good affordable, reliable computers. If your dead set on owning a Mac, I suggest you do some research on them and see if they really are for you. If so, then try Craigslist to find a cheaper one than at the store. OR buy a refurbished Mac from Apple (they are used, but they are cleaned up and inspected and are as good as new for a fraction of the price). I hope this helps.

Try to find an older version of an apple computer. I just bought my first macbook pro and I was in the same boat as you are about 3 months ago. I didn't know what to expect because I was a pc user all my life but they are expensive and worth it. Sooo much faster, no problems with viruses, and it runs the say way all the time no slowing down after you load apps on it. Make the investment.Try to price match Amazon is good also jandr.com..

you cant get a computer that is as close as a mac (unless you make a hackintosh) because Apple does not allow other companies to make there computers apple makes there laptops very well so pay a little extra for the mac book air 10in" its $999.99 that is the cheepist apple laptop but its worth it all the way if you have any questions go to the apple website or go the apple store because they can help you allot.

None. Apple computers are really in their own league. No other brand of computers runs Mac OS X (unless it's been heavily modified to unofficially run Mac OS X) and they're pretty much one of a kind looks-wise too. So, A) save up for a Macbook B) buy a refurb C) get an old one (ones from 2008 or 2009 would probably be around $400-$500) Honestly, I'd choose A. Macs are worth the full price and my philosophy is if you're gonna get a computer, get a high-quality, new one so it will last you for years to come.

The closest laptop to a apple laptop is any Intel x86 processor based laptop. Apple ran out of steam with there own chip designs June 6, 2005 The confusion amongst fans is related to the software called your operating system. x86 runs Mac OSX/Windows/Linux/Unix/Beos all of these just fine Look in the $400 to $500 dollar range Duel Core 4GB ram/320 or 500GB HD/HDMI out/ On board Radeon or similar.

If you're getting a PC, there are 3 laptops I think are comparable to the 15' MacBook pro, and much cheaper. The first is the ASUS G51JX-A1 for $1441. i7 processor, 6GB, 500 GB, all more than the MacBook pro. The second is the Toshiba Satellite A665-3DV8 for $1499. It has the i7 too, with 6GB RAM, and 640 storage. It even has Blu-ray R/W. It's a beast of a machine. Lastly, there is Lenovo Y560d for $1349. Same deal, i7, 6GB, 500GB. All great machines, comparable to the MacBook Pro at a better price. Hope this helps. Check them out in the link below if you like. Kevin Windows Outreach Team
