    The Macbook Pro is overpriced and I can deck out other laptops and get better performance. What is so great about Macbook's?

    Some people like the different OS and the design of the laptop. If you are fine with windows and don't need the mac os then by all means, buy a PC. :)

    find me a laptop, so thin with a 7 hour battery. Laptops are all about mobility and the macbook pro is a master in that aspect.

    I'm sure if you search around this forum you can find many threads about this same topic which were closed because they turned into flame wars. I suggest you read them. Thread closed.

    Please name me a 13" laptop with similar specs and similar screen quality, cheaper than the MBP. I'd love to know.

    Strong points of the Macbook Pro: best touchpad in the business, very good screen quality, build quality.

    Actually I think he is serious, and not just trying to spark emotional responses.
