So I was finally forced...
-
Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy - it only cost a few dollars more to go first class. I spend the extra few dollars exactly because I have good sense. The feel of quality, the great performance and graphics, plus resale value (used laptops other than Apple are worth little to nothing in a few years) make Apple MacBook Pro's the best value going for a non throw away computer. I develop clinical software on my MBP that runs Windows 7 / SQL Server 2012 / and Visual Studio 2013 most of my working day. No way I would go back to non Apple laptops - at least while I have a choice.

More like twice the price.

Because they are old technology. Old apple laptops are old technology too but some apple evangelist will pay more than it is worth just because it is apple.

Why are you not developing on the iOS? Because it is designed for the average user who checks their email, tweets their friends, posts on Farcebook and watches videos on YouTube. My wife is one of these and when she needed a new computer we bought a vios for about half the price if a iSomething. It does the job.

Like I said before you have more dollars than sense.
