You Apple guys really know how to rub it in.
Where can I trade in my Gates garbage laptops to scrap together enough dough for a MacLaptop / Airbook?
I bought my first Macbook in 2008 and haven’t looked back. What a relief to have a computer that doesn’t get a virus of the week. It is wonderful. Yes it is expensive but the old saying to get what you pay for is definitely the correct statement in this case.
If you factor in the longevity of Macs, they end being far more cost effective in the long run. My MBP gets used 50 plus hours a week, it is a 2011 model, and works flawlessly. I will likely keep it another year. That means it will be 5 years old, and quite usable. Not many PC laptops last that long. With heavy use.
And yes, I game on it, I use Photoshop a lot, and I edit video on it. It is a workhorse.
