Let's hear it!

Gateway, dell.  My friends have had HP, Asus, gateway, dell, etc... and they are most of the time less reliable than my mac.

My girlfriend has had a MB for 4 years and the only problems with it haven't really been the machine's fault.  Spilled drink on the keyboard, etc.

I'm sure there are PCs that fair as well, but in my experience, they're farer and fewer between.

My family has laptops from dell, gateway, and acer. The only problems that I've seen with any of them have been caused by user stupidity. Maybe we're just lucky, but I think most people just treat their laptops very very poorly. The only problem with my old dell is that the power connector has been loose ever since I knocked it a couple feet off a counter onto a hard floor . The magnetic power connector thing is one of my favorite things about macbooks (that seems to be a fairly common point of failure) but it's really not worth an extra $1000.

My laptops tend to run very hot, and I've had a lot of harddrive issues.

That being said, my friend with a Mac has had similar problems, so it can happen to any one.

Heh.  I guess it just seems I've seen a lot more "bad apple" PCs than I have with MBs.

I love the magnetic charger.  It's saved my ass dozens of times.  I've dropped my MBP quite a few times, I've spilled water, soda, coffee, etc. on the keyboard and I haven't had a single problem.  For something that's not meant to be ultra durable, this thing sure is a trooper.

I don't have a desktop here because I didn't have a good way of bringing mine.  I have a pretty hard time being restricted to a laptop, and I'm going to try to get my PC here next time I go home.

I don't think I'd ever spend more than $1000 on a laptop.  I'd never buy a laptop if I intended to do any sort of serious gaming.  My MBP was a little over $1000, and I've been rather pleased with it.  Maybe it's just something like the placebo effect, but I've never been so pleased with a laptop.  A year after I bought it, everything is still working as it should.  No broken chargers, no busted keys, not a single hardware failure, etc.

That's not to say I'd never buy a PC laptop again, or that I wouldn't recommend a PC laptop to someone else.  I'm just very pleased with my MBP.

That's un-fuckin-healthy. Plus it makes you a huge dork.

It's funny that you're the one accusing me of being juvenile, and you've shown nothing but that sort of behavior. *golf clap*

Don't you ever get tired of being a stupid douche? Also, if I'm the dork, why are you the one stalking my posts commenting that I'm a dork and need to get laid?

Ender is a troll; the sooner you ignore him entirely, the happier you will be.

Exactly. Just like last time, ignore him long enough and he'll go away for awhile. Yay!

I'm still unconvinced you're a troll on purpose, whether or not you were trolling on purpose before; I think without trolling motivation, you won't.

I don't know lol I guess it's fun? Besides my life sucks right now; I'm on antibiotics for strep so I can't smoke or drink. Also one of my friends just let me down.

To be fair, though, saying that you use the computer 10-14 hours a day warrants some comment. So does insulting certain users on here (Trust and CrAz3d to name two) which you do all the time. I can tell you now that when you pick on them, I'm going to pick on you.

For what it's worth, I use a computer 10-14 hours/day, too. It's my day job, and also my primary hobby.
