By comparable, I mean a machine by a brand that wasn't out of some
guys grarage (and puts out shit that breaks down as much as my office

national brands, but it is well worth it to get a machine that is not
only better made, but has a type of OS that now even Microsoft is
calling a fundamental step forward.
