Gotta love it when someone who can barely use a PC, switches to mac because of virus. Happens all the time.
Not implying you here.
Macs are overpriced. Unless you're using platform specific software, there is no point in switching. Every time I pass that Apple store, I want to slap an "Apple Genius".

Apple is great at marketing, styling, and their interface is good, but when it comes to computers...just more costly for less performance.

yup, if you like to consume content then ipad, iphone is good for on the move but the PC will always be the king of content creation\Games\Hardware\price\FAR more software rather than some overpriced shitty imac.

Nope, have an iphone 4 32gb and an ipad 64gb myself but a PC just plain rapes a Mac.

I recently bought a 13 in mac pro, sandy bridge I5 yadda yadda.

Prior I had a Samsung Q430 (I think those are the numbers, 14 inch with I5 etc etc)

I have to admit- you get what you pay for. This thing is a pure joy to use.

The trackpad is AMAZING- the keyboard AMAZING- even the backlighting on the keyboard is perfect.

The battery charger is fucking magnetic.

Lightning fast at everything I do.

Screen does not wash out at angles.

Despite the shell being a heat sink it stays cool MOST of the time.

Whisper quiet.

Programs load and unload instantly- no more waiting for windows to uninstall shit- it just happens, instantly.

I owned a crappy Toshiba and then the Samsung, which was very nice, but this is on another level. It makes me not want to even shop around for laptops, which I always used to do. It is a fantastic machine.

And I got $100 off being a student. $1200 out the door, pricey but well worth it IMO.

And FWIW the battery life is closer to 5 hours with "normal" use. I CAN get 9 but with the screen so damn dark I can barely see it. So, when the situation calls for it, exceptional battery life CAN be had, but around 5-6 hours on the normal daily.

And did I mention how sexy the fucking thing is? Just a joy to be on. I find myself always doing SOMETHING on it because it's just awesome.

And if the AIR had a backlit keyboard I would have bought it, shitty processor and all.

You should see if you can swing a BMW. If you're smaller/average sized, get a 335i. If tall/bigger than average, get a 550i.

I need it for school web browsing the usual.

Honestly I do think it's pricey, but I am VERY happy with it, and I have used a ton of laptops and shopped for weeks before I bought it.

The best way to put it is that this is the complete package.

What I wanted-

I7 sandy bridge
7200 RPM harddrive
8gigs of RAM
500 GIG hard drive, at least
Hi def screen
Great battery life
Thin and lightweight
Blu-Ray player
Nice shell, appealing and trendy- not cheap and plastic like.

The bottom line- I could NEVER get the perfect package. The Toshiba Portege 830 and also the Lenovo Y460p both came very close, but neither had a backlit keyboard (something I insisted on) and the lenovo seemed and felt very cheap. It had a shitty battery while the toshiba- what can I say, it came very close.

Like I said though, I am pretty educated when it comes to computers, and I did my research, and while I dislike shelling out $1200 for the MAC you definitely DO get what you pay for.

On this keyboard I can easily hammer out around 105 110 WPM at 95% or better accuracy and the backlit keyboard is amazing and a joy to have.

I think you made the right decision, investing in yourself and your education.

Na. My friend gifted a 1991 Sunbird to me and I plan on sticking with that. I also have a mountain bike, and a VTA month pass is only $70, so I usually ride my mountain bike and take light rail/bus.

I am pretty big on public transportation, I really wish America would step it up like Germany and make mass transit better. But, it works, and I stick with it.

Germany makes BMWs. Driving one makes you feel better about life in general. Feeling better about life --> makes you more productive.

Dell Studio 17" Adware Google Chrome Win 7 I5 and I haven't had a virus in 1.5 yrs.

Dell Insp 15" XP since 2006 - I think I've had to clean it out twice over the yrs but back up everything on flash

Blackberry 8830 2yrs but will upgrade to 4G Droid. Fuck IPhn

Sandisk for 39$ to listen to a couple of songs while working out. WTF I need video or 300 device for that

Kindle 139$ vs IPad which is just an incomplete lap top.

WTF you looking for online to keep getting viruses?

I think both my systems were cheaper together than one 13" MAC.

Poor

WTF? Saving and getting good mileage of laptops and other products vs just paying name brand
