[QUOTE="hwks1mcq, post: 881477, member: 112084"] Despite being ridiculously over priced :o I bought my first MPB. I tried to get folks on here to give me a compelling reason to spend hundreds of dollars more (in my example the MB was $800 more) for arguably inferior technical specifications - nobody could give me a sound, compelling reason other than 'its just better OK', so I came up with my own. Although some were incredulous to my remark that I really like the track pad....in the end that's why I bought my MB! I also like the fact that (I'm told but still skeptical) that you can run Windows apps.....from what I have read this sounds like a mixed bag experience and I haven't had an opportunity yet to even begin trying to load Windows on this thing. I am hoping to become a believer, only time will tell.......kind of a bit of irony couple days ago, at a presentation the guy with the MB had nothing but trouble getting a video (that he made on his MB) to play - lol :Smirk: . The Windows machine of another guy was flawless. Of course this would happen because I have been telling my wife that a MB is supposed to be so much better.....naturally she took this opportunity to give me that 'yeah sure' look. [/QUOTE]
