Well at least you're picking a good brand, not that it means much.

Yeah, must be good to know that 2 year olds and even Orang Utans can use the same technology as you, a grown up man. So much for "smartphone", Apple takes the "smart" out of that word.

Why would we be jealous when even after the discounts (Ok, not really discounts, more like money back), it still cost the same as a high end Asus or HP? The specs of Macbooks are still mediocre compared to PC high ends and don't even get me started on OSX.

I'm a Senior in high school and was think in about buying a MacBook Pro. For a 15" screen, its like $1,600. Wtf?

I can customize a Windows laptop with quad core i7, W7 Ultimate, and a nice SSD for around $1,200. That extra $400 can go towards my books, which aren't cheap.

Macs are overpriced and are not worth the money.

thank you for this post - the iDIOTS are blinded by loyalty for a product over value of a product.
