Wrong again, my company bought it for me. And in case you didn’t read, Macs often end up being cheaper than PCs in the long run, especially for company’s.
Nobody said to go out and get a Mac Pro or a Macbook Air.
White Macbook (which is what I have) is $999
New aluminum Macbook starts at $1299
Both more than powerful enough for the average computer user (gamers aside, but grow up 
lol just kidding).
And don’t bother posting some Acer for $399. That thing won’t last half as long, and neither will the battery.
You get what you pay for. End of story.
