ok seriously, I own a macbook pro and a desktop pc. They are two completely different things. The laptop is nice but OS X will never, ever replace windows. In fact I am typing this in Bootcamp. My "technically" inferior PC also runs games way better than this macbook pro does in bootcamp. Mac's are great for their purpose, being tools for people who do not care to understand/learn a Windows machine. So many Apple elitists have these ridiculous misconceptions about Windows. My copy of XP on this laptop is 10x more stable than OS X on the same machine. And wireless in OS X is a joke. On the same machine I can connect to a wireless network that's right next to me with a perfect connection in XP and in OS X I get one bar. That's ridiculous.
Also, I could have spent half the cost of this $2500 laptop and got a PC laptop with better specs and paid at least $700 less. Mac's are all about aesthetics. End of story. Apple's tech support is also really not great. Not that I've ever had to deal with Dell or anything like that since I build all my Window's machines myself.

Just so you know, there were laptops that came with cameras integrated in them long before the Macbook Pro came around (Mac's first integrated camera).

Just so you know, a lot of things that Apple claims to have done first were done first by others.
My biggest pet peeve with Macs though is the complete and utter wrong propaganda that Mac fans try to spread about their software and Windows software. These commercials are very accurate in displaying that.
*Edit*
Also, I wanted to add that just in case anyone wants to bring up the fact that Macs don't get viruses, there is a specific reason for that, and it has nothing to do with OS X's security. The simple fact is that nobody wants to make viruses for Mac's because frankly not enough people use them for it to be a big deal. So nobody even bothers.
