That is one of the reasons I never jumped the boat to Apple, even though I like the NeXT origins of Mac OS X.<p>For the type of stuff I do at home, games and graphics, CPU and discrete GPU matter a lot.<p>So given the price difference from a Macbook Pro to similar specked Windows laptops, I could never justify the 1000 € price difference specially when the hardware has issues unjustifiable for a 2 500 € laptop (2.5x the average engineer salary on my home country).
