Where can I find cheap apple computers (latest desktops) and parts for Mac?

Is it possible to assemble Mac the same way I do with PCs, buy all parts separately and that's it? Thank you! Preferred store locations - NY.

    Well... Mac parts are fundamentally the same as any other PC. Intel processors, nVidia graphics cards, SATA hard drives, etc. The problem is that Apple only allows Mac OS to be installed on Apple hardware. As such, you cannot build your own Mac (at least, not legally).

    Also, you will never find "cheap" Apple computers as Apple sets the prices themselves and does not allow authorized retailers to change them.

    because of the fact naive people will pay the value questioning additional funds potential greater high quality. Apple has in no way been aggressive interior the pc marketplace. the present deceptive classified ads via Apple dont tell the completed certainty. as a count of certainty, a large style of the Apple sales in computers is via the greater youthful, unknowing public. Apple clients shout "My Mac can do something a pc can and do it greater effectual" while as a count of certainty Macs out of the field WONT run ninety 5 p.c. of the appliance on the marketplace, ARENT improve friendly, harm the bank, WONT play the video games babies choose, etc. They spend yet another small fortune modding their Macs to run living house windows and are looking out even a modded Mac wont carry out on the part of what a pc at a million/2 the value can do. Apples pc days are numbered and as quickly as the widespread public wises up, Apple would be dealing with financial ruin back. The numbers have spoken for themselves for 30 years. Numbers dont lie. the pc marketplace is incredibly aggressive. greater third social gathering application and hardware manufacturers advise greater aggressive expenses for the procuring public. As a pro pc person of 30 years programming machines with IBM compatibles, i will assure that a Mac doesnt come on the part of working the complicated application mandatory to do one in all those activity. EDIT: there are a large number of application for desktops in video and audio enhancing, arts and layout, etc that run circles around Macs via the way. the thought Macs carry out greater effectual in those factors is an absolute fantasy.

    newest macs

    second hand

    also macs arent internally superior to windows running computers

    (the only reason why they are more expensive is because they have no market competition, eg

    acer lowers their prices because HP lowered theirs)

    not only that, its probably not worth assembling your own, unless you want the best of the best.

    hope i helped (soz this isnt exactly what you asked for)
