This always happens. I would say that PC laptops and desktops alike can both have ATLEAST better specs than their similarly matched mac product for under HALF the price.

Anyone here post their mac product and it can be beat in about 5 minutes of research. My friend is a typical mac defender in the fact that he says you are buying the quality and service. He said that his laptop stopped working after a year and they shipped him a new one without question. That is pretty cool, but you already paid for 2 laptops by choosing that brand, so your getting ripped anyways.

I take very good care of my electronics and am very capable of fixing any problems through experience or research.

Most laptops have a month return policy as well. so if you purchase a great deal on a cheap Acer, MSI, etc. and you don't like the build quality, then you return it for a full refund and look for another product.

The mac love just blows me away always, and if its the OS that you like, then buy any computer and just install that OS on it. It's a software issue.

My current laptop is $398 after all taxes:
3-4 hour batt life, 15.6inch Acer
touch screen (works very well)
3gb ddr3 (replacing the 1gb stick with a 4gb for $40 this month to bring it to 6gb)
i3 350
NVIDIA GT 330M graphics
320gb storage
