Yes very funny. Unfortunately for me, I viewed the Macbook Pro as the best hardware platform out there - not on price but on a mix of features (the utilmate spec for every component isn't always the best). And while I was at it I also chose to use OS X for music in the studio instead of XP and Vista around the rest of the house. So of course I am branded as an idiot and constantly laughed at.
Its not quite as black and white as pc=smart, Mac=stupid. The price is an interesting issue. All PC's would be priced around Mac prices if it wasn't for the intense competition. But this competition doesn't give you cheaper computers, they give you less and pretend its a workable computer. Not enough ram, you've-got-to-be-kidding low notebook cpu power, machines which take 10 minutes to boot. You really have to spend close to a macbook pro to get sensible power. Personally the only notebook to have these days is the latest Vaio GW series, second choise could be Macbook Pro. IMO all others are crippled to a price point.
Oops, got a bit more carried away then I expected.
