My only mac is a 15" MacBook Pro (and if you count my work laptop a 15" MacBook Pro, so two Macs). I love it - it works great with my DJing equipment, has run almost flawlessly over the past 3ish years, is EXTREMELY sturdy (and will probably continue to last because of this) and does exactly what I need it to do. Was it overpriced? Absolutely, but compared to the other **** on the market when it comes to laptops, I could care less. The only laptop comparable in my experience was an enterprise edition laptop, the HP Elitebook which, when all is said and done, will cost the same as my Pro.

There is something to be said about Apple's ridiculously greedy marketing and manufacturing schemes, but that is also the reason why as of Aug. 2012 they had $112 billion in the bank. This doesn't mean I agree with it though...

You will probably begin to see some of this change with the passing of jobs...but somehow Apple has the ability to tell people what they will want in the future. As long as they keep this up, they will continue to make BANK.

I am by no means an Apple fanboy - I have an android phone (have always had androids since the very first android, the G1 - in fact you could probably call me a Google fanboy), an Apply tablet, a Windows PC, and I have switched between Intel and AMD, NVIDIA and ATI my whole life. Moral of the story is, get what fits you and does what you need it to do at your price point.
