Help me decide

What’s swaying me towards is is the Retina Display
If you’re a Mac fan, The answer is obvious!
If however you wanna get the best value for your money, Then I’m sure you’ll be able
to find a Laptop/Ultrabook with much better hardware for the same amount of money (Even less)
Hardware/Value aside, You can do anything you want with Windows (It provides you with a lot of freedom) but the same cannot be said about Mac OS! And while it’s true that Mac’s are less prone to Virus/Spyware infections (Due to the fact that Windows is the #1 OS and Mac OS is in the minority) Windows can still be safe if you use common sense and the right security software!
Some people buy a Mac just to feel “cool” with themselves and then install Windows using bootcamp, Doing that if you ask me (Buying a super expensive Mac) just to end up using Windows on it is just ridicules!
I actually planned to do that but only for using programs that are not available on the mac. Like i say whats making me want it is the retina display. However if laptops had retina display i would opt for a windows laptop. What puts me off a little is that the macbook dosent have a dedicated graphics card but seemed fine when i was using it in the shop
What are you gonna use it for?
Unless you plan on viewing 1080p movies on it, or doing photo retouching/video editing on a regular basis, Retina would not be needed! And if you are gonna do those things, Using a desktop with a much larger screen (say 24″) would be much better.
I agree with , you can do better for less $
I myself love Apple products, but they are definitely overpricing the true value.
A good Ultrabook will do the trick…
I’ve managed to borrow a netbook for as long as I need so gonna
Hold off see if the price gets below a grand. I also hear that it’s best to hold
Off as there will be a new one out very soon.
Thanks
