Macs *shudder*

My laptop's hard drive failed so I decided to buy a macbook pro, cuz I gots ta get my study on and those comps are known for their stability, and the netbook (though effective at what it does) falls terribly short to watching video lectures. Also with an estimated 300k in student loan debt by the time I graduate, what's another 2 thousand?

The only Apple store in the area is at a mall, so I go there and buy it. The sit me down with a guy who's just gushing about macs, all while I just want to get out of there and do my schoolwork. Interesting note: there is no way to walk out of an Apple store in the mall with a macbook pro without feeling like a tool.

The computer is nice, but Mac OS doesn't feel as revolutionary as mac whores say it would be. That being said, it's nice to have a working computer to study-but-then-fail-to-do-so-by-surfing-youtube-facebook-and-posting-on-gaia.

You could have built a god-like laptop for half of that. Dx

*shrugs* I first bought a mac to try it out and have loved it ever since. Have a mac book pro now.

I use both windows and my mac and just prefer the mac os. I'm certainly not going to gush like a nutter over it though. Both of them have their perks and downfalls. Its all about preferences really.

I'm certainly not going to tell anyone to buy one. I would recommend them yes but i'm rather fearful of someone calling me a mac sheep just because of my personal preference for them over windows. why do some people have to be so horrible over little things? I don't get it, i mean go ahead with the people who are being douches but the rest of us are reasonable. :/

That is a rather big debt O_o

My Toshiba was a beast when I bought it, but I know that Macs are more stable and harder to get games on, so it would keep me from procrastinating as much as possible

Kosai: this is the expense breakdown for first year, the loan amount stays the same relatively, though next year the people rotating in LA will have estimated expenses of 90k

Macs aren't god-like, but I've had 10x less problems with my Mac than I did any of my PC laptops, and I got this one used from my dad.

I only briefly had a problem with my touchpad or something, but it somehow fixed itself?

I don't see why people like obsess over Macs because it's not THAT important, but I generally like Macs more now even thought they are ********' expensive.
Though now when I'm trying to fix something on my friend's laptop, I keep two finger tapping the touchpad trying to right click. D<
