No way you're getting 10 hours. That's macbook air battery life. My girl has a Retina and gets like 5-6.
(and you can't go by what it tells you once you unplug the power cord. That shyt overestimates like a muthafukka. Telling me I'm getting 13 hours. Nope...)
It's $2,000 for a 15 inch, breh.dawg. ya'll are trolling with this argument.
Its not 4x
its MAYBE 1.5-2x...and thats on the high end.
ANNNND we gotta be honest here.
Macs have best in class build quality
Best in class weight
best in class battery management
best in class software integration...windows doesn't own shyt, therefore all that fragmentation creates more sources of error from the hardware and takes it away from the core. Its why Apple can make iPhones with "less under the hood" but perform better than these juiced android phones with XYZ stats.
UI and UX can't be beat IMO.
Windows 8 is....cool...but the hardware AND software helps make apple what it is.
Don't get me wrong. You need tons of 3rd party software to enjoy OS X. I've got my VLC. I've added tons of stuff to safari (which is better than chrome on OS X imo). I've got microsoft office open right now etc...
but...when we talk about the sheer integration of OS X and the subtle features they include (it doesn't matter who does it first, but who does it BEST, )they really can't be beat IMO.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure I could set up a comparable laptop for 5-600-ish dollars.
And build quality? Dude, that's a great point when talking about homes and clothes...but realistically when's the last time a laptop had to be serviced because of keypad issues and shyt? I mean how badly are some of you treating your laptops that build quality ever even becomes an issue?
Battery? Eh. I suppose. I got nothing here.
Software integration? Well, what are you doing? Can we be honest and admit that 95% of macbook users only use the shyt for internet browsing and youtube videos? Maybe the occasional photoshop/lightroom edit? I mean the pretentiousness that comes out of some Macbook users...as if they're editing shyt for Vogue magazine or Lucasfilm...please....
I'm really not trying to shyt on macbooks but I just don't see the value in it. Even bumping the cost comparison up....say to $1,000...you could easily build a windows laptop that equals or beats a macbook on sheer power and would have similar software capabilities.
2k is too damn much. I have that very laptop. But you out your fukkin mind if you think you can get a 1800p screen for 5-600. Opinion is now null and void
Also, i code with Xcode and use Garageband ..far more than just browsing the internet or youtube.
*L*E*G*A*C*Y*
Done.
same...Mac are a powerhouse. Def. great for nice programs like Photoshop and Final Cut Pro plus others. Y'all are trippin.
They are still over priced though. But I want one.
My late '08 MacBook no Pro has 8GB of RAM has been dropped a couple of times but still never misses a beat and I got it second hand in '11. I paid $700 for it and it's well worth it considering I bought a Dell in '07 and it died in '10.
my model was about 400 cheaper
I didn't even know computers came with less than 8 RAM still. lol.

OS X is a smoother and more stable OS in my eyes.
It just is.
That carries a premium with apps that manage battery life far more and are more tightly integrated into the OS.
All this "power" shyt is a non-sequitur.
Its the same argument nikkas use to hate on iPhones but their shyt gets hung up doing basic shyt.
I'm second guessing even starting this thread.
I'm not even trying to shyt on anyone (intentionally
) and dudes are in here talking about "oh well my moms boyfriend (
) has a laptop with 64 ram and a 20 petabyte SSD and 240 ghz processor etc that NASA uses to crunch numbers...and it has 30 day battery life " 
Mannn get out of here
These dudes never want to talk about the Operating System though. Its always hardware with these dudes.
Theres more to a mac than whats under the hood
I haven't gotten a virus in 10+ years
and I only use freeware antivirus software:zfg:and my pc is set up so I am up and running in 5 minutes like nothing happen if I was to ever get one :yasure:
these cats out there browsing the internet like a nymphomaniac madman in a whorehouse:youthink:
then wonder why the got blisters on their junk:zfg:
i ain't mad at them though apple is for...somebody, just not me. :notbadsas:
