I sense a bias from your quarter, so it is hard to say in your case if you have made the right decision.Of course Metla has made the right decision, but so have I. The majority of this forum would never consider it, I have paid a premium for it with no regrets. I dont feel the so called premium was much anyway unless you are comparing to a self built, or custom made setup. I'm talking about macs in general, not laptops.

1262990 2012-03-05 05:33:00 I'm pretty sure we compared a macbook with an asus a while back and found that the macbook was better and not that much more expensive either... When you actually bother to look at the specs and build quality of macs they arent actually bad value for money at all, yeah you can buy HP, Dell or most mainstream brands cheaper but will it last you as long? Hold it's value better? IMO you should look at laptops case by case but shouldnt bash a brand around just because there is some hate around it for whatever reason (unless they are genuinely **** laptops e.g build quality sucks 50% of the time, or you have personal preference which you shouldnt have to go shoving down other peoples throats). icow (15313)

Of course I have made the right decision, Apples don't do it for me, Hence I don't buy them.

The numbers sold are pointless, 100's of millions more have bought Windows based systems. It has zero bearing on my purchase.

I buy windows machines because thats the platform the programs I want to run are on, I don't care in the slightest what branding is on the OS, It needs to work and stay the hell out of the way.

After that its grunt per dollar, with some consideration given to screen size and resolution.

I don't care about battery life, heft or heat, I want her to suck up that juice and nuke my nuts.

Ha ha, and there we have a reason to buy windows, I will pass it on to Bill.

Then why buy a laptop at all?

Mobility.

Anything under 5kg is fine by me, Light as a feather.

1262996 2012-03-05 08:50:00 I know! Let's have another pointless Mac vs PC debate!

While were at it, anyone fancy a PS3 vs Xbox debate?

1262997 2012-03-05 08:53:00 PS3 vs Xbox. Pfft, I prefer the steam box: www.stuff.co.nz
