The extra money you pay goes towards a computer that doesn't get viruses, and doesn't get slower and shittier after two months of use.

The only reason you can say it doesn't get virus's is because of apples poo poo market penetration, sorry hackers don't waste time going after a tiny portion of people, if you aren't a 70 year old using a computer properly so it doesn't get slow or viruses is the same thing as changing the oil in your car, but you probably can't even do that simple task as well.

This alone makes windows a much more lucrative target for hacking.

my 1tb 2.8ghz macbook pro retina was basically free (aside from the shell i got it) and i think its pretty good, its substantially better than the lenovo thinkpad (goon recommended), that i was using. if i ever get shitcanned and have to buy my own laptop i'd probably consider buying one.

Also failed vehicle is likely to severely maim or kill its operator or others in the vicinity. Apples long time ago crossed the line from a hobby tinker toy to a premium appliance. Just like refrigerator or Television set is not set up to be serviced or "upgraded" by the end users, neither one should have expectations of opening your Apple.

But the trackpads I've used on Dells, MSI netbooks, ASUS tablets/netbooks were all perfectly fine. The only one I found fairly unresponsive was on a Samsung I got really cheap. Not used a Mac laptop in ages, but their bizarre touchpad mouse was awkward as all hell to use, and that's what they shipped with the last iMac I used.
