Macbooks are good hardware, but the high-end PC laptop market is catching up on that front now that the Surface line has shown them what they should be doing. While working at MS in the pre-Surface days I saw more than a few MBPs running Win7 with stickers covering their Apple logos

I recommend Macbooks because it's a built-in price barrier keeps them from grabbing some crap $300 Walmart version. I know if I recommend some kind of Lenovo or even Surface they'd end up buying some HP garbage because "it has an i5 isn't that the same thing"

I mean yeah you're kind of overpaying for what you're getting but they're at least good right? macbooks are just like any other laptop so you are basically paying 3-4x the price for the mac operating system in a package you can't upgrade. Or for the price of a macbook you can buy a performance gaming laptop with built in video card that you can actually do things with and probably still have enough leftover for a second laptop that matches the basic "Integrated graphics" power of a macbook.

I can almost get away with not needing a laptop and being able to do everything on a smartphone or tablet and a bluetooth keyboard on the road, but not quite. I don't really feel like I "need" a high-end one but next time I'm definitely springing for something better than bottom of the barrel garbage. Now if my old Samsung RV515 would just loving die

And yeah all they really want is email and internet which is why I've been recommending Chromebooks but they think they need more power or don't trust the cloud or think they really need Office and Google Docs won't work or all of the above so that's not a topic that gets very far.
