I don't want to sound rude but from previous conversations and allusions you have made on this forum and in Meebo, I don't think you are a person with big money to throw around (though obviously you work very hard and you have a great job). You live in a really expensive city and I seem to recall that you still have debt from your move.
Thus, when somebody says to you that you can buy a product virtually identical to another product which costs considerably more for no readily apparent reason, I feel like it's reasonably justified of them to point out that someone who isn't stupid rich might want to give it some thought. The design is aesthetically okay but I see nice looking Windows laptops all the time now. I'm typing on one right now and it literally cost a third of the price of a bog standard Macbook Pro.

You are right! I am still very poor despite the fact that I have a well-paying job. I'm paying way more rent than I can handle and I'm still thousands of dollars in over my head. However I do need a new computer and I know that if I settle for a Windows computer I will be unhappy with it for the next five years or however long, because I just really like the way OS/X and Apple hardware looks and works. I have been to the bank this week and figured out a payment plan for my debt that will enable me to have it all paid off easily in less than 3 years, rather than just constantly paying off the interest like I've been doing for the past 2. While I'm paying this off I'm also planning to save up for an overseas holiday. Also hopefully my boyfriend is moving in with me at the end of the year which will save me literally thousands in rent and transport costs. I'm also going to stop buying so many clothes which is a big money drain (I've banned myself from Etsy).

Here is a thing that is bugging me:
How the balls do I build my own OSX machine. I mean, let's say I want to save several hundred dollars, still have OSX, but don't care about having an aggressively branded case for it. The internal hardware of an Apple machine is 100% the same as any Windows machine so why can't I easily buy OSX from them and install it myself and save me some money?
