Mac vs, PC

I'm wanting a MBP something fierce right now. My work ASUS has been great, but going on 5 years in June it will be time for a replacement. I've upgraded as much as it can go, from a T7100 (1.8GHz C2D) to a T9300 (2.5GHz C2D), threw in 4GB of RAM (max), and added a C300 128GB SSD. Total for this laptop has been about $2300-$2400 with the Win7 Enterprise cost as well. Buying a properly spec'd MBP with a 256GB SSD, 8GB RAM, a quad core i7, back lit keyboard, 15" 1680x1050 anti glare screen is about $3000. That doesn't seem overpriced at all to me considering the better quality screen and aluminum case. Thunderbolt too.
My ASUS is all plastic and being used almost everyday for work for over 4 years now, it looks like hell. The keys are worn and the area where you rest your wrists is missing color. I see a MBP in my future

MBP's slay.
I'd give my left nut to get my first gen 17" MBP back even considering it's age now, such a retard for selling it.... I'll probably never be able to afford another fully decked out MBP.
You're like me FragTek, but after a month you consider selling it again. I sold my PC and after I wanted it back so much. After 6months I had chance to repair it... I'm glad I never got it back for good. It's just nice memories you have associated with the item.

Nice memories indeed.... Here's a good one for example:

I was the first person in the world to get CSS to play natively in OS X on a MBP. An OC3D exclusive at the time, haha.
I ended up having to disable comments on the video because a bunch of PC ultra fanboys came in to knock how long it took to load, etc, and why Mac's suck so much for gaming as if I were showcasing this as the ultimate gaming laptop.

Nice achievement there! My best achievement was purchasing a MacBook.
