To Mac or not to Mac

Im quite surprise that acer aspire is number 2 in the list.

Acer isnt bad. I have a 2 year old Acer 1830T that has never given me any problem. Used daily as my only computer.

If you want to challenge yourself, go get a mac and install a virtual software that will let you use Windows inside OSX like Parallels or VMware fusion.
Start by using and learning Mac softwares. If things go tough, you can always use Windows, but try to restrain yourself. That's how you learn.

Sometime, it's okay to get out of your comfort zones and try other stuff - because that's how people learn.

Otherwise, we'd still be living in caves till now.

Not being a fanboy but Mac is a very reliable piece of machine. I made the switch 30 months ago and never looked back.
Just get Applecare with it and you're set for at least three productive years.

correct sir. yan ung hanap ko din reliability kaya yan pa din gamit ko same holds true with their iphone, hindi nag hahang.

You are certainly right about that part. Sounds like the MBP is not for you, what's "SC"? "value wise" meaning price? Being able to find product that meets your needs and you're comfortable would be perhaps more priceless than "value" of the product.

The Mac has actually grown on me... I love its Keynote presentation software and its really quick. I'm enjoying the "best of both worlds" so to speak... If I'm in the mood for some gaming.. I just boot up windows....

The only "disadvantage" I see.. if it can be called one.. is that since its more expensive than the average laptop... I find myself taking more care of it.. to the point of being OC sometimes....

once you get into mac you won't go back.

That's right. Been using Macs since 2003.
Here's a picture of me when we got our first batch of MacBook Pro Retinas last year.

been using OSX since mid 2000s. if you had the chance to use Tiger (like me) then you'll say Mountain Lion is so low. my boot up time before around 10-15 seconds. now it takes half a minute or more 0_o

weird, i find myself being more careful with windows laptops since they have poorer build quality. whereas sa mac i just clean the monitor with any clean rag in reach.

that statement is not 100% true; i go back all the time :p but then again i use other OS's regularly. i guess Mac hardware and software is like experiencing proper industrial design for people who been trapped in an all Windows crap fest for the past 20 years.

It looks like you may have upgraded your OS from one version to a newer version by using the lazy method by running the installer.
If you have done this to upgrade even once - then, that's your culprit. I'm an Apple engineer and we use another method to upgrade an OS.

Whats that, deleting the partition and do a clean install?
