The Apple 15" MacBook Pro is $2499

Go ahead and flush your money down the toilet. When will you be buying one so that you can keep up with the Joneses, the teenyboppers, the gays, the hipster urbanite trash and the fanbois debris?
Meanwhile, back on planet Earth there are very fine 15" laptops for $500 and under. Crappy Apple product is not an option for those with a functioning brain

... that in no way match the power and functionality of the MacBook in question. If you want an underpowered, cheap piece of junk to browse the web and read email, by all means buy a disposable piece of junk.

If you want to do real work, you're going to have to pony up for a machine that can do it. MacBooks tend to be roughly in the upper middle of the price range for similarly-spec'd machines.

I’ll wait until the price of SSD’s stop being ridiculously high (it could happen by this fall) and then I’ll get a Windows 10 laptop with 8 GB of RAM and 512 GB SSD that won’t cost US$2,500. :-)
