Apple MacBook Pro Fall 2011 (2.2GHz Core i7, 15-inch)

Pros: battery life
user interface (mac osx)
mac app store
basically nothing of what those other people said is even a concern
little to no viruses
a computer that is durable, with the software, and the quality parts would cost just as much

Cons: Most people are unfamiliar with Max osx
other people just like to bash it because its not windows
pricey, but its a premium product
doesn't come with Microsoft office but you can buy the mac version of it

Summary: To be honest I have never had an issue with my mac book pro. People may call me a silly Apple fan, which seems to be a popular thing these days. In reality I am just a very satisfied customer. People wonder why some people get so obsessed with Apple products, did you ever pause to think that maybe because they are really great? Apple does a great job of constantly updating and improving its operating systems and machines. Also, the machine was built for the operating system. Its the same thing with the phones and tablets that Apple makes. They make the machines to seamlessly integrate with the operating system. Microsoft gives their Windows system to HP, Dell, etc just like Google gives out Android to Motorola, Samsung. However, Apple creates the device that will hold their operating system, they don't sell it out. So what you get is a device and operating system that were built to live hand in hand with each other. There is a big difference in the quality of the computer. Trust me.
