My brother works as a developer and he´s always been into computers.
Ever since we were kids he had this huge fascination for computers and everything around them.

I saw him turn into an Apple fan in a heartbeat. And I thought "meh" just overpriced good looking computers with good marketing. I used to own a Toshiba, and once it died (yeah unlike Macs most computers have a rather shorter life imho) I was given my moms old Mac, a pretty oldschool one (the white ones). I fell in love with it instantly, and never looked back.

I own a Macbook pro that I bought a couple of years ago and it has not given me the slightest trouble.

Just my personal experience, Mac WILL NOT disappoint!
