i am honestly puzzled by you MB guys. Buy a 3k laptop then run windows 90% of the time....

A windows machine that is well taken care of will run just as good as a mac. As long as your smart with your downloads and have good virus/malware protection there is no advantage by going with a mac.

Save 1500 bucks and stick that into a nice 2 channel system or your 401k. Order a nice lenovo t series laptop

Or is everyone just that googly eyed over a pretty glowing apple on the backside of their screen to show off at your local starbucks?
