I know PCs can do a lot more and all that good stuff for power users, but I don't care. I'm a normal person doing normal people computer stuff. My MacBook I got three years ago runs just like it did the first day I got it. No BSing around with antivirus software, defragmenting, blue screen of death, etc.

Its not just about viruses. Ya'll sound like some simpletons in here.
The interface is a lot smoother and some people just prefer that. Ya'll make it sound like Windows is just that much better when in reality, MAC gets 99% of the things done that your average PC owner will be doing. = Internet, Office/Productivity Apps, a few random clients. Thats it.
Most people aren't coding, editing, producing etc.
Mac's are great devices. They're more expensive but don't take that to be a shot to the ego, it is just the way it is. If you're happy with your Windows machine, be happy, I'm just fine with the state and quality of my OSX.
BTW, stupid people will do stupid things. If you get a virus, 9/10 of the time you were doing something that left you vulnerable.

People always seem to get mad when people buy them and can't use all their "capabilities"
But every PC I have gotten sucks and my macbook is perfect

hopefully this drives the price of the 2 year old macbook pros down significantly.

I love my MacBook Pro...it's a great investment. I will be using this for a long time..considering the fact that its not that heavy compared to most windows base laptops..like my gateway..if you can afford the MacBook Pro i will just do that. Took me a while but i finally did last year.

I have bought a bunch off of craigslist. Only brand new/sealed however. It's crazy how much money you can save. Since I am in the SF Bay a lot of companies (think Silicon Valley) give mac products to their employees and their employees turn around and sell them at a discounted rated on CL.
I could usually find a brand new mac book pro or mac pro for maybe 65% of the retail price, brand new and box and sealed. You just have to be dedicated on craigslist and find the deals as they come.

Are applecare warranties needed when buying a new MBP? If no, whats the standard warranty include? Thanks in advance.
