I do not have access to those suppliers now as I no longer work there. Apple do not give enough information for a fair comparison. > That turned out to be unsupportable and contrary to evidence. There is no evidence. All I need is to know what processor Apple use. You can't find this info, so I can only assume Apple hide it. Basically you're buying an Apple with no doubt the bottom of the range of i5s in it and paying for the top of the range. PC manufacturers admit what part they're using. Apple lie and deceive. > The you whined Apple did > not show you specs on their CPUs and I showed you they did You've yet to tell me the model of CPU used in any current mac for sale. > and, if for some > unknown reason you even wanted to know the Intel designation you could easy > figure it out just from what is on that one page.

No, I just want to know the ingredients Apple use to make a machine, so I can compare the price for PRECISELY the same machine made by a PC manufacturer. A comparison cannot be made without the precise components used. Stop evading and give me a spec list. -- Alfred Hitchcock didn't have a belly button.
