Mac vs PC (split)

The most impressive thing in all this is the price of the laptop. What kind of used laptop has a value of 1000+? I was shocked when I heard this was a felony theft.

Mac's are not all that . You can pay over a thousand for what a 600. dollar E-machine will do .But then you could not be a mac fan. Lets See? Hewlet packerd to dollar is just about twice the real ability . Lol But the steve jobs boys still say OOOH we dont get a virus. Well except the LARGEST one that has ever been discovered . Apple fans rank right up there with PS3 fans .

They're going to come out with updated Macbook Pros any time now. Take it back and wait.

(Unless you got the 17 inch. No telling what they'll do with that.)

I update every other year for work, write-offs and such. I'm not too worried about it. I'd go insane if I tried to keep up with what Apple does; gave up on that game years ago.

A $600 laptop is a plasticky piece of crap. An Apple laptop is a sturdy, well-built solid piece of aluminum. That comes with free tech support forever at a store where you can just walk in and ask them to help you.

The only company making laptops of the same consistently high quality is Apple is Lenovo, and they are priced accordingly. As with everything in life, you get what you pay for.

I don't worry overmuch about it, but I do try to know when a new release is (supposedly) imminent. Heavy rumor is that they are going to redo the 15 inch Macbook Pro with the super-slim Air form factor. Possibly at the expense of the ethernet port though.
