I'm not a fan of Mac OS X by any means, but I have to admit, the hardware is impressive. I'm in the market for a new laptop, and I'm hard pressed against picking one up because they aren't that much more expensive than the laptops that I am looking at.

Versus

http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore?family=MacBookPro

These are comparable systems, but the Apple has, as I said, roughly an 800 dollar premium. Actually, the cheapest macbook pro costs the same as the high-end Toshiba. If you make good money, it's not a big deal. But when the girl in the coffeehouse asks me what kind of computer she should get to go along with her minimum wage, I'm basically scum to recommend an Apple.
