    But Apple users are rich people and they can afford it. So why complain?

    Oh don't be so bitter. Maybe one day you'll be able to afford some Apple products for yourself. ;)

    I heard about this this morning and had to laugh. I'm not sure this is a great idea by Orbitz.

    If Mac users are willing to pay twice as much for a computer with the same processing power as a similar PC, it makes sense that they'd be willing to pay more for everything else.

    gotta love windows fanboys, think processing power is the only important thing in a machine, disregarding literally everything else.

    Honestly, it seems like Windows users switch out their laptops twice as often as Mac users. So paying twice as much isn't really true.

    Yes.

    I'm not sure why people give a crap what others use. I prefer Apple. I thankfully make enough money that I'm not too concerned about the price. I actually just ordered the new Retina Pros last night. But, to each his own.
