MacBook Pro is quite good actually, imho it's one of the best laptops on the market right now, alongside with IBM ThinkPads that i also rate quite highly because of how badass they are in basically every aspect. I also chose OSX for anything music and graphic design related, it's much more superior and user friendly than what Microsoft has to offer at the moment. Does it means I'm also an idiot?

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.

Of course if you'll bother reading my previous post you'll immediately find out that i said: "the only exceptions are MacBook Pro and Mac Pro", all their other computers are a waste of money. If you ever opened a Mac, you could see that most macs are built from very cheap low-grade components, the complete opposite to what macfans tend to blindly believe. I remember seeing an iMac with one of the shittiest intel mobos inside, if i build my own computer i would never use this mobo in my machine as long as there are so many better alternatives. Totally agree with Timo regarding matte screens, can't stand those glossy screens tbh, especially in my office environment.
Seriously, I find it quite hard to believe that Mac fanboys still can't accept the fact that Apple has started manufacturing regular PC's couple of years ago. They can't be serious, it's surely a pisstake.
P.S. This post may look a little bit messy and disorientated because I'm very drunk at the moment, sorry for inconvenience.
