Give me reasons NOT to get a MBP

[mark28]

I might do a little gaming, and potentially run some engineering programs in the future. Any major problems there?

In terms of gaming, you're going to run into trouble.

A MBP 15 i5 with 330m has to run it BF Bad company 2 at the lowest settings while an Envy wiht it's ATI 5830 can run it maxed out at high resolution.

Hopefully Apples switches to ATI cards sooner or later because Nvidia is bad.

Well, I just ordered it today, I'll let you all know how it turns out when it comes in. I can't wait.

I'm going into university next year, and I will be using my MPB for practically everything, including running Logic Studio (one of the main reasons I want a MPB). I also plan to run Windows 7 from Boot Camp. I'm most likely getting my 15.4" MBP with the hi-res upgrade (no anti-gloss) in the coming days, and I'm having some last-minute apprehensions of making such a large purchase. Are there any reasons I shouldn't get one?

...to ******* expensive man... I pay for my MacBook Pro 15" i7, all cold CA$H...It was horible (...me crying ).

1. expensive, upgrades are expensive and usually unnecessary ( such as the 8gb of ram which is 400$ upgrade for 4 extra gb of slow ram)
2.performs relatively poor in the encoding and authoring arena compared to similarly equipped machines
3.upgraded pretty often so you're left angry when 3 months later, apple releases a similar mbp for 300$ less
4.displays and graphics cards in mbps are and ALWAYS WILL BE poor because apple knows the fanboys will buy whatever they sell.
5.flash performance is just horrid, so if you like creating projects in flash or watching a lot of youtube videos you might as well buy a netbook

all this coming from a PROUD owner of a 2010 and 2009 mbp both 15", one i7 and the other core2duo 2.66, so why do i still buy the mbp?

it's the lesser of two evils
