@McGregor because samsung is JUST NOW rolling out with a phone to compete with the iPhone.

Up until then, nothing has been able to compare, at all.

@McGregor I happen to think the audio and video is way better on a macbook, running the same applications on OSX and windows in bootcamp using the same hardware, on the same laptop, it just looks and sounds better on OSX.

As far as the actual laptop itself goes, I think the trackpad functions way more efficiently, the keys feel better, the built in camera that comes with apps to use with it, and the overall form is nicer than the majority of laptops out there.

Yeah, it costs more, BUT...they also retain their value a whole lot better.

@McGregor That's fair but isn't it like a couple hundred dollars to upgrade windows operating systems every time they come out?

Even when you have to pay for really bad OSes, like Vista? Windows 8 isn't shaping up to be that great either so far. yet it will cost hundreds to upgrade.

Mac OSes are usually $20 to own.

But yeah, I know a couple thousand is a tough pill for most to swallow for a laptop, but it depends what you buy it for I suppose.

@rarson I agree with the guy below me..you should own one before u can talk, because so far you're just saying your friend your friend your friend, which leads me to believe you've never owned any apple products and are just really bitter about it for some reason, and it's just leading you to troll nonstop.

@Suikogaiden yep, like TV screens and videogames...we're all just a bunch of mindless zombies, aren't we?

@TheBlackEclipse trollololol

@dawnofhero In the PC world, hardware is updated monthly. New graphic cards, faster memory, faster processors, etc.

doesn't matter.

Phone contracts generally come in 2 year intervals. I'm upgrading after my 2 years expired. Pretty sure most people do the same, which is why phone companies, such as Apple, offer new phones every year, which compared to how fast technology changes, is pretty slow. Wouldn't ya say?

@TheBlackEclipse touch screen and 2 cameras, what son

so what you're saying is that Apple is behind the times in the changes they make?

In that case, wouldn't it be be very easy to play catch-up? If you're going to use sarcasm, at least do it right brah.

Also, I bought a MacBook Pro earlier this year and I absolutely love it. I've never used OSX before coming from windows based gaming rigs, and I find it really awesome for my productivity. Once I got used to it, I loved it.

For gaming, OSX sucks, that part is true, however, I have Windows 7 on bootcamp and if I want to play games, I just reboot in W7. Running Dolphin emulator with 50-60fps, plus games like Arkham City, Rage, and Borderlands 2...no problem at all. It can compete with most desktops out there. The hardware is fantastic after the intel and nvidia upgrades.

Apple does make great products and they're not some evil corporation. Seriously guys, get off your high horses.
