See, the point is it's hard to find a PC laptop that's comparable to the MacBook Pro on features and price, when you take everything into account. You can get powerful ones that are cheaper, but they tend to be big and heavy and have awful battery life. You can also find ones that are smaller and cheaper, but they are woefully underpowered. If you actually want all the MacBook Pro's advantages (good build quality, dual core, dedicated graphics, under 6 lbs, under 1.5" thick) you have to pay just as much as you do for the Mac. The only thing PCs really have going for them is there are so many you can easily choose to sacrifice in a few of those areas while spending a lot less money.

Quoted for truth. Emphasis mine.
