Lmfao wrong.
Just because it's called a MacBook doesn't neccessarily mean it's better.
The Toshiba has like 3x the amount of RAM than the MacBook.

apple computers are good for some stuff, but personally i would never buy one, just because they are overpriced. Even though they are better more some things, but most things they are just the same as PC's

Mac is a little overpriced in my opinion

you obviously can't read. he never said its better he said its easier to get around on photoshop in his opinion. and when did he mention ram? he's talking about design.

I wanted a mac so i can be cool in college and than i just got a MSI laptop...

Now, I have a late 2009 macbook, 2.26 ghz, i5 processer i think, 256 GB capacity, it came with 2gb of memory, and 13" screen.

Price?

Everyone always says Apple computers are overpriced and i didn't believe people, but i just realized it, its so crazy.

Put Mac has programs such as adobe Photoshop and illustrator, also has a great anti virus protection

That's completely untrue. I don't even know how you could back up something so wrong. Coming from a mac user, who is right now on bootcamp/windows - not only is photoshop the same, but most mutli-platform programs are exactly the same.

They are overpriced. I realized that a long time ago. If you just like browsing the internet or making videos a Toshiba laptop is fine. I don't see why people waste so much money on a MacB ook. ee000)

yes but all of those other laptops copied apple. they created most of the technology thats great. they should have the prices that high and if they had them lower than they'd be brought down because of that too, because then people would think with such a low price, the product must be trash.

And dont forget all the virus software you have to buy to keep those shi**y laptops running. you dont need any of that on a mac
