The screen on my mbp looks way better than my sony bravia.

One of my roommates had a $1500 hp and my other roommate has a $1200 gateway. After living with me they both would buy a MBP if they cost less...

I would never buy a macbook. You're right. They are weak. But for the average laptop user a macbook is more than enough.

When it comes to computer idc what it costs im gonna get what I want lol $2500 for a sweet laptop is fine with me.

Plus his mac book has no HDMI or DVI out, which is weak as funk... You have to go to apple and spend another 80-100 bucks to get the needed cable to plug into a TV... My wireless card is faster too. I'll get 50megs on the speed test where as he only gets 35-40. His macbook is only a year old btw

But for the most parts, PC vendors cut costs where they can, but if you look at the price of them, most of them are also a lot cheaper than macs... So it's not really an apples to apples comparison lol.

Companies who natively install windows on their laptops use trackpads that are inferior to the trackpads that are used in laptops made by apple. :P

-iTunes sucks. (they used three points for this) BS everyone uses iTunes and has iPods this i have to disagree, i like itunes more than wmp
-Unboxing videos. Yup people making unboxing videos on youtube means that apple sucks. Made me lol. yep thats a lol moment
-Product placement. Aka advertising. Sony does it all the time with their viaos
i can honestly say i dont see much apple or sony viao commercials, its mainly windows 7 commercials
This one made me lol too:
7. Fear
i can agree with this one, im always scared them macbooks are going to blow up
Apple's culture of secrecy, it's alleged, is partly responsible for the death of a 25-year-old Chinese worker who committed suicide after losing a prototype iPhone. It's claimed that Apple subcontractors are so scared of the firm's wrath they put unbearable pressure on their employees.

Cxa, I know you weren't being 100% serious but after reading that article I just wanted to give it some chit.

It was hard for me to switch to Apple products because I used to hate them with a passion. So I made sure that I was making the right decision before I did.

Apple Trackpad/Mac trackpad same difference. You get what I was saying lol.

Edit: I'm not that kind of douche that only uses one specific brand of something and it seemed like this post made me come off that way. I have a Droid, for example. If I was going to get a desktop and was hard up on cash I would have no problem getting a PC. I'd hit up ibuypower in an instant. Me preferring Apple ish just means that I have to save up longer.

Seems pretty accurate to me. I love the gestures.
