I've read about a thousand articles, and watched hundreds of videos on YouTube, even went down to the local frys electronics for a hands on experience.
First off, I'm not sure where exactly this post belongs, so, sorry if this isn't the proper place.
I'm selling my gaming PC, and buying a laptop. I'm going into nursing school next semester and A) need a laptop, and B) need to stop gaming as much. And I figure selling my beauty and the accompanying 32" LED, I'll game a little less, I hope
Simply, I'd like to know why the Macbook Pro feels so nice to use, to me. I've compared it, in person, to similar, or more expensive windows laptops, and I just don't get the quality feel, be it hardware: flexing keyboard, screen, cheap plastics, etc. or the way the OS feels, snappy, fluid, and that "just works" feel. Why don't I get the same excited feeling on the super powered windows laptops? I found these 2 laptops, that beat out, by far, the macbook at similar prices, yet in my hands, felt lackluster. I know that in pure FPS, or pure power, the windows computers linked would out-due the macbook, but I catch myself still enjoying the experience of the mac...

I'm really looking for as unbiased an answer as possible. I know a lot of you will just say "If you like it, buy it! It's all personal preference" But when you have such huge fans on either side, it makes you doubt why you like something. I've never owned a mac btw, I've built powerhouse PC's for about a decade now, and have always kinda snickered at the dudes in scarfs at Starbucks on there MBP's.
Any feedback would be super groovy. Thanks
