Are Macbooks really worth the exorbitant price tag?

<p>Omg, your sheer obstinacy is exasperating. Let me make it very clear so even someone as profoundly intelligent as yourself can understand: you have yet to explain why Mac OSX beats out Windows for the average user. Again, with the right freeware, viruses/malware/spyware can be easily and conveniently defeated on a PC. We agree (or do I need to prove it once more?) that PCs can beat out Macs in terms of hardware and at a reduced cost? Plus, and I failed to point this out before, some of your previous comments truly suggested that to you and your wealthy phd friends, the macbook was more of a status symbol…which goes all the way back to the concept of a fad.</p>
