At the risk of being digitally pummeled Macbooks are worth the extra dough. My 2009 MBP is going like it just rolled off the conveyer belt. Since 2009 I’ve helped 3 family members buy 1-2 “cheap windows laptops” to replace the one that died. There’s very little middle ground anymore.
And people wonder why the rest of us get taxed to death. How about we treat US corps that have more than 40% of their cash outside our borders as foreign then.
