The Macbooks are definitely a much better build quality than MOST, but not all laptops out there. But that still doesn't justify them being 2-3 times the cost of your typical laptop. They are no more or less reliable than anything else on the market. If they were, there wouldn't be a 1 hour wait in the Apple Store on a daily basis.
And all Macbooks suck ass for video editing, as do 99% of the PC laptops. |
That all makes sense to me. I use a Macbook Pro for a laptop, and a Mac Pro for a desktop. I see them as different beasts for different jobs. I wouldn't try to do things on my laptop that are better suited to the desktop.
As far as getting the most for my money, I'm as happy to save some dollars as the next guy, but I also don't feel like my primary tool for making money has to even have a second thought about whether I'm going to splurge on it or not.
