OR 15.4'', 4GB RAM, 500gb HD= $1709.99 (on sale)
My laptop 15.6''- i7, 8gb RAM, 1TB HD+8gb SSD cache drive = $999 (full list)

Oh, and I could even ADD a 256GB SSD to my 1TB and still come out $800 ahead.

Show me the PC that costs the same as a Mac with the same specs. Just more propaganda by the Mac faithful.

I never said you will be spending the same thing I said around the same thing. My 15 Inch cost me 1,600 and has a 2.0 Ghz i7 Quad core with a 512 MB Nivida graphics and the 3000 integrated graphics (Dynamic Switching), 500 GB SSD and 4Gb of DDR3 Ram. When I was looking at windows laptops to have something comparable with more ram (usually in the 12-16 DDR2 Category) it was around 1,200 from HP, Lenovo, Toshiba, and Dell. And they all were made from crappy plastic unlike the Mac being a complete Aluminium Frame and body

The original reason why I got a Mac Book was because I was planning to be a graphic design major but since then my plans have changed and I am now in the IT and In all honestly everything Mac is a nightmare to work with. Completely locked down and uses some of the most unefficient forms of technology for a large volume RAID. That is why I say I will most likely not purchase a Mac Book again just something like the Mac Mini which is somewhat cheap (Still overpriced for its specs) to continue to stay up to date to see the changes they make in case I ever need to service one for a user.
