I hate to do this . . . Oh wait–no I don’t!

So, one page back dilapidated tried to illustrate how Macs are affordable, by listing a refurbished MacBook Air for $850.

Said MacBook Air has 11.6" display; 2GB memory; pitiable integrated graphics; two USB 2.0 ports; and dual-core CPU @ 1.6 GHz.

Now, observe: [Newegg.com - TOSHIBA Portege R835-P88 Notebook Intel Core i5 2450M(2.50GHz) 13.3" 6GB Memory DDR3 1333 640GB HDD 5400rpm DVD Super Multi Intel HD Graphics](Are you a human?)

This Toshiba is $100 less, is brand-new, and includes: 13.3" display; 6 GB memory; pitiable integrated graphics; two USB 2.0 ports and one USB 3.0 port; and dual-core CPU @ 2.50 GHz . . . the list goes on.

Summary: You get way more bang for your buck by avoiding the MacBook product line. I wouldn’t waste my money on anything computer-related from Apple.

N.B. Said Toshiba was whisked up at whim from Newegg’s laptop/notebook page.
