Apple’s customer service makes it a desirable alternative to some of the PC equivalents of a MacBook, like the ASUS U35/45JCs. While the latter laptops do have good - or better - specs for a significantly lower price, it must be noted that ASUS customer service sucks.



MacBook Pros are premium products.



Well, I suppose this depends on the buyer’s income. Though I come from a relatively comfortable background, I consider MacBook Pros to be luxury products, for you can get something just as good (and long-lasting) for cheaper; getting a Mac seems to be - for some, this is - the result of a desire for a particular brand, not necessarily a certain product.
