I'm thinking about getting a new laptop that I can take with on vacations,etc. so I can work with my photos. I've been looking around a bit and I have to say I was VERY impressed with the Apple macbook pro,even though it was only 13 inches. The retina display is really incedible, but like all things made by Apple it comes at a price. It's at the very least, twice the price of an HP or something else comparable. For me to get that laptop, with the larger flash drive, the larger ram,and some software for photos and whatever, it's pushing the $2,000.00 window. I've never owned an Apple product and have looked at them before,but again,I got my HP desktop for less than half the cost of the Apple and I still wonder if I should have just gotten the Apple anyway.

A year ago I had purchased my 1st Apple product in the form of a Macbook Pro. Have not had 1 minutes worth a problem since I got it. Cost more money yes, but the issues I've had with window machines more than makes up for it. By far longer battery life, than any of my previous laptops. Contrary to one who wrote they run hotter but I don't find that true with mine but that could be because I have solid state drive. I am the happiest I've ever been with this laptop. I should say I also have a windows 7 desktop and I use it only for my CAD software and as soon as I learn the new CAD program on my Mac, it will go by the wayside.
