Apple makes great laptops and their laptops are much more in line price / feature / performance wise with PC's than with their desktop lines.

Apple is not an evil company?
I consider Apple a much more evil company than Microsoft. Apple makes you buy their overpriced proprietary hardware. You don't have the latest mac OS? Tough, you'll miss out on the latest software. Break something in your computer? You'll have to replace your entire machine.
All microsoft does is make a great OS. You don't have to use it if you want to. They don't force you to buy certain hardware. Don't like IE? Don't use it.
Mac laptops are nice but they're far from matching the performance and upgradebility of PCs.
