Is it just me or are the only people who hate Macs for seemingly no reason too poor to have ever afforded one?
it's extremely overpriced
SO IT MUST BE BETTER. I've noticed quite the opposite actually - people who defend macs often fall back on a sullen feeling of superiority for blowing way too much money on an overpriced device and not being able to defend it in any other manner.
What's wrong you hate top of the line hardware and superior build quality? Seriously?
1. lol

To expand on that, which I really shouldn't need to, Macbooks have far from top-of-the-line hardware ESPECIALLY compared to similarly priced competitors, and the quality of the hardware is no different to the majority of other manufacturers since they all come from the same few Chinese slave labo-uh, manufacturing plants.
As for the build quality, IBM/Lenovo's always led the pack in terms of durability and modular design. sure, they're made of hard plastic as opposed to metal, but that's more a matter of form than function. Asus has become rather good in this regard as well, at least in their higher-end models - zenbook-types are solid aluminium-framed and have close to zero dead space, and the ROG range are durable, scratch/scuff resistant and very easy to service with almost excessive expansion options. The generic consumer/corporate brands like Dell, HP and the like have come a long way, but except for a few of Dell's executive models (which are totally not worth the asking price), they're nowhere near the aforementioned in terms of build quality.
