Apr 23, 2015 i don't doubt this is true, and i'm sure people with the time/inclination can make a windows laptop run better than a macbook. but i bought the smallest macbook pro in 2010, beat the s--- out of it--i use it a disgusting amount every day and lugged it around vancouver in an often-damp backpack--and it lasted me almost exactly five years without putting in a dollar or sending it out to be repaired. that's two hundred bucks a year, which is a steal. just bought an air for ~$1,100 and was happy to pay it. that said, all i use my computer for is its word processor, web browsers, playing music, and streaming tv occasionally. i'm sure it's possible that if i was a professional in something that required more processing power i could feel differently.
Apr 23, 2015 They aren't the worst. Just the price point issue. They cost a ton to repair as well. On the subject of stability, I dropped my Lenovo off of a bunk bed onto linoleum tiling one time and only got superficial damage. That thing was a tank.
Apr 24, 2015 Just ordered an iMac. My laptop is s-----y and I've been wanting a Mac forever so I figured why not
Apr 24, 2015 because the new ones only have one usb port and its not even a normal usb port. for the average consumer i would reccomend the late 2014.
May 6, 2015 just wanted to stop by and say i bought the surface pro 3 and the s--- is flamin:snapdrake:
May 6, 2015 I got a 2013 Retina with a Quad Core i7 and 8GB on eBay for $1200.. Pretty good deal, looked for a while though.

May 6, 2015 Hilarious thread. Ask the same question in 2006 and the reaction would be flipped flopped 100%
May 6, 2015 Adding to this ... I bought my first macbook pro in 2008 for about 2k. I literally have not spent a penny on upgrading it or anything .... Still runs perfect. Not sluggish. Now try that same scenario with a Windows PC I would have bought in 2008 for about 2k. Do you think it would be running with no issues in 2015?
