I do like Apple for tablets and phones – I don’t see any reason though to buy a Mac desktop.
I buy off lease PC’s off of ebay for $100 bucks or so and install a decent video card.
However, Mac Laptops even a few years old still have value. Most PC laptops have already been e-recycled.
I am cheap – and still basically broke.
I think being cheap can burn you in the long run.
For example, you can buy an Invicta watch and they are pretty nice but have no resale, etc..Or you could spend more and buy a Gucci watch and you can ALWAYS sell it.
Gucci watches are always in demand. Invictas? Not really…(but I do have a collection of cheap Invicta wacthes and no Gucci).
