That is a nice machine!  However by time you buy all the add-ons  it could get a little pricy.

I've stayed away from MAC mostly because of the cost.  All my computers are getting old.  I will need to start replacing them next year.  I'd like to go with a MAC however they are 2 - 4 times more than a PC.  I can buy an HP quad core, 6 GB RAM, 1TB Drive and a 23 inch flat screen monitor on sale for around $600.  I'd pay $1800 for a large screen Apple notebook or an iMAC.

Am I missing something?

Thanks!

Welcome to my world.
Darwin/OS X is a beautiful thing.
If my workplace would let me, i'd ditch the friggin 8-core Dell monster they gave us to use as a workstation and replace it with the 6 year old Mac Pro. It's only worth to me is as a Unix workstation, and there are better Unix workstations out there than Linux.

I know a guy who owns a data center.  He told me he uses the MAC because he wants everything to work out of the box and he wants the Unix shell so he can do his job.  

I think all of his servers are CentOS & RHEL

Yes,
    I remember going to TFUG meetings, and seeing some TFUG-ers
showing off their iPhones, so there is no denying his influence as a marketing
genius even over our crowd.
     You're talking to a guy who likes to build his own systems under Gentoo
and build/configure kernels. I linux that's possible to do, but I can see how the
average Apple customer would cringe at the thought of that.

It's hard to describe, but he was part of something that I understood and was part of our history. He represented something important and vital. It was cultural and personal. When I first saw the add "Think Differently", I knew something was going on.
