I don't know what you stupid ass niggers are laughing at. It's a *crag*ing awesome piece of hardware. Outside the fact that almost every college I've looked at pretty much requires one, from what I've used of it I prefer it over...pretty much prefer it over every other laptop I've seen.
@Popple: Don't get me started on why Macs suck, Popple. 1. In OSX, you can only resize windows from the bottom right corner. That's inferior user interface design. Not to mention that input can often prove to be slow and less responsive than on other platforms. 2. Macs aren't upgradeable. When you buy a mac, you're stuck with what you get and you're going to have to spend another $1000+ later on (That is, if you stick with Apple). 3. With other laptops and computers, usually you can fix them yourself if they break down. Macs are harder to fix and you usually have to take them to specialized stores in order to fix them. 4. Macs are overpriced. You probably spent far more for it than you would have if you got a different laptop with the same specs. 5. Macs are far less developer friendly (I can assure you, building a program on a PC is far less frustrating than building a program on a Mac). You can't win this argument, Popple. Macs are overpriced machines that are marketed to people who really don't know two shits about computers. And I don't know what colleges you've been applying to; the vast majority of them don't even require computers of any sort.
I'm not a developer, I don't plan on upgrading at any point in the near future, I'm on the AppleCare plan and I don't want to fix it myself anyway and last time I had someone else do it they KILLED MY *CRAG*ING PC, I'm very pleased with what I got for the price, and if you want to talk about inferior interface I can list off shit in Windows FOR DAYS
You're not a developer but because PCs are easier to develop for there will be a VASTLY larger amount of software, indie and otherwise, available for the platform, you don't plan on upgrading any point in the near future but you will damn well need to upgrade later on and when you do, upgrading through manual parts will always be cheaper than buying another overpriced Mac, AppleCare is unreliable and even then, there's no reason to not want to fix a computer for yourself since fixing computers isn't all too hard or time-consuming anyways (If you follow the right guides instead of handing it off to someone who doesn't know what he or she is doing, which is what your previous issue sounds like), you're very pleased with what you got for the price probably because you didn't price shop (If you viewed the alternatives and saw how vastly cheaper they are beforehand (Again, view that link and compare the prices listed in the opening post), you probably would've gotten something else; if you wouldn't have, then you're bad with money and have no real logical reason for getting a mac), and even though Window's ain't perfect it's still vastly superior to OSX in terms of functionality.
Also you probably could've found other printer/scanner bundles out there.
And even if Steam is on the platform, other computers have a larger library of games than Macs (Steam, although a valuable distribution service, isn't the "be all end all" of PC gaming (Alot of titles are unavailable through Steam))
Again, you are citing problems you have with OSX Crump. Not the Mac. And for the record, I don't see why I would want to possibly *crag* up my PC when someone who actually has had some level of training will do the job for a reasonable price. I haven't found any games that don't work on the Mac that I would actually want, and even then almost all major publishers have begun to recognize that the Mac userbase makes for a more than viable market and nearly all of the bigger developers are beginning to publish on both and those that I actually care about already have.
What you have failed to do time and again, Crump, is provide a compelling argument as to why the Mac hardware isn't up to snuff. I like working in OSX and it works better on the Mac, not to mention the interchange between all the Apple products that, if you haven't noticed, are *crag*ing banging in the marketplace right now. Perhaps you haven't used a Mac, but Apple is really good at what it does. That is making a functional piece of hardware that is also fun and comfortable to use. I've been using several non-Mac PCs for years in the span of less three *crag*ing days I have already come to love this product.
Quote numbers to me all day if you want but when it comes down to it there isn't a god damn problem with the Mac.
I already have my beret and expensive French cigarettes. They are imported. Maybe you didn't know this but all cool people smoke. A lot of people say that smoking is bad for you, but I'm too cool now to care about that. Cool people don't have time to care about health. Want to know why? Because they are cool, and cool people don't care about health.

If anyone needs me, I'll be fellating the business end of a sawn-off.
also here's a thread made by a guy on another forum I have a fair amount of respect for (Despite me disagreeing with him on economics) that is pretty good reference material

Also they gave me a really nice printer/scanner for free.

fffffffffff stop being a hipster pops.
