Ok, I'll bite, because it's fuck all to do with marketing and quality is off the fucking scale on a MBP.
They're built like nothing else on the market. Seriously, there's nothing built like that. Lenovo's used to be, but all the ones I felt of late suck donkey dick.
A Mac is alloy. Not an alloy lid with plasticky bits everywhere, the whole fucking body is alloy. Apparently machined from one piece. It's as strong as a tank, looks fucking lovely, feels nice and is silent.
It has an unmatched glass trackpad that's smooth as fuck and has about 20 gestures using up to 5 fingers.
Now obviously you're talking about it without OSX, so you immediately remove a major positive for me, which would be the ease of the computing experience and the operating system, being an OPERATING system, and getting the fuck out the way.
I buy it. I get it out of the box. I turn it on. I use it. That is what I want. I don't want to fuck about with settings. I want to work and I want a computer to help me do what I want to do, not get in my fucking way and piss me off.
Value shouldn't come into it. How many hours a day do you use a computer? Work out the cost. I spend more on coffee in a week than I spend on my Mac over 3-4 years, and I spend more time on my computer than I do drinking coffee. A working and stress free computing experience should not be underestimated.
Also, a Mac holds it's value. Other faggyfags want them. My last Mac was sold for £400 less than I paid for it, a little over 3 years later. My first Mac was sold after a year for a £200 loss.
And most of all makes me feel superior and show my faggotry, especially when people tell me why it's shit/retarded/overpriced/gay/shiny without a clue about what my computer does, how the OS works, how long it will last or how well it's built. But yeah, made just down the road, must be the same...
Now look what you've made me go and do. I'll have Windows fans getting angry and jealous again. Where's The 'Cakes when you need him?
