    Yin, you should check out bootcamp running windows, or custom linux configurations if you're up to it. Benchmarks run a little higher, with a little more reliability keeping it sandboxed. I've seen longer reliability out of the couple of MacBooks I've had than any other mobile platform I've worked with. If you get into desktop setups, and customized UI's and hardware configurations are your gig, then a PC might be better bang for your buck. But, for the average user, who mostly is looking at reliability and service/support, Apple isn't necessarily the worst way to go. Different strokes for different folks. :)
