My grammar was poor. “it” means Apple products.
Listen I don’t care what you use. Both have limitations and are good at what they do. Mine isn’t shiny and it doesn’t have a picture of an Apple that glows on the back of it.
If you want to pay more money for essentially the same machine that’s your business.
The thing is I don’t think I am getting essentially the same machine. For one, no PC laptop has OS X on it, which I prefer to Windows although by all reports Windows 7 is much better. And then, I’m not aware of any PC laptops with multi-touch trackpads, an all aluminum body, and a battery capable of 7 hours (15in screen) among other things all separate my laptop from the PC offerings. Maybe they aren’t worth any price differential to you, but they are to me and I find that to make them not essentially the same.
