looking for new laptop

Oh yeah, and longevity. Plenty of people get 6 or 8 or 10 years out of a Mac.

Half the price one can purchase various other brands, including larger screens or for 3/4 the price, a faster system with a 17in. screens. So when it craps in a few years, get another and your still the same amount as the Mac.

What am I missing here. Longevity ?

FREEDOM from all the Windows bugs, crashes, viruses etc etc has been easily worth the premium for me.

Once you go Mac, you will never go back (or so says those who have drunk Steve's Koolaid - like me)

I have not had all those described windows problems, myself. For sure not $700 worth. However longevity is an important concern.

Thanks
