Why pay 3x more for a Mac to run Words and notepad?

I can understand the appeal of a MacBook, but I don't think I could ever justify spending $1300 when I could spend around $500 on a laptop that does something very similar. Seriously what am I missing?

Because in order to properly become a hippy renegade, one first has to have a big stack of cash, and second, buy at least 3 Apple products over $400

Or you know, because you just prefer one tool over another.

Seriously, this mac vs pc shit is so annoying.

it may be one tool vs another, but no one's going to use a hammer on a screw.

Yeah, when my course uni course started last year (Music Technology), I think one of the roughly 40 other students had a MacBook. Now about two thirds, including myself have them. It's the nature of the course though, a lot of the programs we use are Mac exclusive/work better on Macs. Although everyone got the 13" MacBooks, and one guy got the bigger MacBook Pro. Damn I hate that hipster...

As someone that's done audio production on both platforms, I much appreciate how little troubleshooting I have had to do with a Mac. Plug the shit in and it's instantly recognized and works. This was RARELY the case on Windows.

Publishers won't take you seriously if you don't have a Macbook.

Depending on the age of the MacBooks they might as well be made from the blood of african children.
Conflict minerals and all that.

Trying to implement the recently-rediscovered Cisko facepalm AND anti-Apple sentiment in a single post? Setting your sights pretty high there...
