Ok so I am in a really confused. I have two choices.
My first one is:
Apple MacBook white/black(the color doesn't really matters to me)
2.4 GHz Intel core 2 duo
2 GB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM
250 GB hdd serial ATA 5400 rpm
8x SuperDrive
Intel GMA X3100 graphical processor with 144MB DDR2 SDRAM shared
InBuilt 10/100/1000BASE-T(gigabit) ethernet
InBuilt AirPort extreme Wi-Fi
InBuilt bluetooth
This lappy will cost me 1000 euros
My second choice is:
iPentium Q6600 CORE2QUAD at 2.4GHz
EN9600GT/DVI-HDMI/ 1GB DDR3
P5QL PRO
4GB RAM DDR2
500GB HDD 7200 rpm SEAGATE
CM mystique 632
Asus DVD-RW black
CM extreme power 390W
This will cost me about 700 euros.
Please anyone help me.
And just for information i don't intend to play games (maybe counter attack and NFS), and what do You think of the macintosh.
Thanks everyone

Before the Mac Police bust in here, can I just say that the PC based one:-
- Has a quad core processor
- Twice as much RAM
- Dedicated graphics
- Twice the hard disk space and a faster spin speed
Yes, I know that Vista is a ram and cpu hog whereas Mac OS can run on a washing machine controller but looking at value for money alone, I think the choice is clear in this case.

Is the Macbook brand new? Cause if so you won't get a black one
Is there any point getting a quad core CPu if your not a gamer?

Completely agreed. While Mac is good, it doesnt justify the enormous increase in price for half the performance.

You should consider the Mac to be the luxury option, which ultimately, is exactly what it is under most circumstances.
Are you after a luxury computer, or something which will just do what it's supposed to do?
If yes to either, buy the Mac.
Since when has Windows done what it's supposed to do?

I hope you've got a warrant, officer!
Windows isn't that bad. Sure, Vista was a huge disappointment but hey, onwards and upwards...
And a rig like that will run Windows 7 like a dream.

A mac can run both mac osx and windows natviely.
A windows pc cannot.
That's all I'll say.

why would you want to buy that system and then install windows on it? the specs are literally half of the windows PC.
the only reason to buy that Mac is, well, because its a Mac. And that apparently means something.

Yup, I have to agree that this particular Mac is a hell of a lot of money for what you actually get. You'd have to be a real OSX nut or have a pathological hatred of all things Windows / Linux to buy it over the PC in this case.
