1. Subjective. And helpful - buying mac solves the problem.
2. First of all... research it before saying anything:
a. MacBookPro17 ($2499)
http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/specs-17inch.html
b. Samsung gaming monster ($2600)
http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/18/s...us-size-and-s/ But it's not out yet.
c. Yeah, Samsung has more RAM, more Video Memory and a BR drive. And it costs a bit more. Remove that and its price would be similar to that of Mac's
d. I wasn't suggesting to buy a top MacBook anyway. A used MacBook with SIMILAR specs to his current laptop will be a lot cheaper.
3. Do not lie. This thread is an indication that you are wrong.
