I'll have to look into it.
My thought was that Rochard was talking about a Windows laptop, which is equivalent to saying that he bought a cheap TV, but it only works with his VCR .. what's the point?

It's got nothing to do with being budget conscious. It's more to do with getting the most for your money. I felt like less of a sucker not having to turn my credit card over to Apple this time around, and there was a point when Quiet and myself were the only Mac users on this board with our Bondi Blue iMacs
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.
