[QUOTE="MaDDoG, post: 417424, member: 24625"] Hi bowlman23 I too did the switch. I have a MBP and I love it and don't hate Windows. I use Windows daily at work and on the other laptop at home. From what your usage description is, you will love it too. The quality and design are beautiful. It fast and does not have the virus etc problems as you get with Windows PC's. My two main gripes are the keyboard lack of backspace etc keys, and Office for Mac is different from what I am used and I can see no reason for the differences. Why can't they have programs that you can run under either operating system that actually look and feel the same? As for the price difference when you add up what you get the difference is not as great as some would have you believe. I paid $3000 for my 17"MBP core duo 1 gig ram (now 2) 120 gig hdd as a run out model, and $2500 for my Asus 15.4" 1.7 mghz pre core anything 1 gig ram 80 gig hdd. Shop around and don't be afraid to ask for a discount. [/QUOTE]
