For the people that complain that they can get a pc for a lot cheaper than a Mac especially the Macbook Pro, then they should remember that the Macbook Pro is a Professional laptop. When you compare the Macbook Pro against Dell's Mobile Precision M4400 a Pro laptop, with the same specs as a Macbook Pro you get the same price point. The Macbook Pro isn't three times more than the Dell, they are the same price. The Macbook Pro has ddr3 at 1066mhz while the Dell is still running ddr2 at 800mhz. And how can we forget that the Macbook Pro looks so much better than Dell anyways.

Question...
What does it say the MacBookPro is a Professional Laptop?
Apple doesn't even call it a laptop, they call it a mobile computer.
 
Ok the Apple Tax is no myth im sorry to say. I can get an asus laptop with a 9700GT, 2.5 ghz proc, 4 gb ram(STANDARD) and Blu-ray for $1850. The only downside of course is weight and battery life. So basically with apple you're paying extra for weight and battery life.
