it's easy to use and do what you want without a steep learning curve. hardware quality is good, ergonomics are unsurpassed.

downsides are obvious...cost being the big one. if you're like most of us and have an investment in Windows based software, you're buying it all over again ON TOP of the hardware costs.

my general rule of thumb is unless you're just trying to be a cool kid at starbucks with a macbook, they are not worth it unless you're using it to primarily do design, graphics, photo and video editing and that type of thing. if that's your purpose, consider it a high end tool to invest in.

I think we are on the wrong page. The Hackintosh is a hack that can open either a Windows os or a Mac os on the same puter. It apparently started in Brazil by a bunch of programmers that got stiffed by apple. I have seen it in action and it is pretty cool. someone is offering it to me, so I thought I would ask around.

Yup, that one went right past me...
