I bought a Windows 8 laptop two months ago. i7 processor, 8 GB RAM, 1 TB HD... Cost was $830. The equivalent Macbook would have been $2000. So for the cost of a Macbook, I could have had TWO Win8 laptops, with enough money left over for a few gourmet meals! Sorry, but I don't see the justification in charging a 140% premium.

J E F F4 Whatta Ya Think About Dat? Premium Member join:2004-04-01 Kitchener, ON	J E F F4 to Bob4 Premium Member 2013-Feb-5 8:03 pm to Bob4 So was that the one with Retina? (overrated) but did yours have Retina? I'm happy with my MacBook Air. paid $840 refurb, i5, 4GB RAM, lite keyboard. Cheaper than the $900 offering from Acer with same spec. Especially after coming from a $1000 Windows machines that was a hunk of junk.
