So how would I ever find a Mac computer equivalent to my brother's? The base model still costs $3999.00 AUD without the customization! Plus, I can't find an iMac that has similar specs to those I outlined above, and in buying an iMac I would additionally lose the ability to upgrade anything other than RAM and the HDD.

Edit: Let's not make this into another argument. Instead:

Say I have $1500AU and want to buy a new computer, convince me why I should get an Mac instead of a PC with vastly higher specs.
