I heard somewhere that all the parts Apple uses are top of the line, and thus worth the price, but I've only heard that so I don't know for sure. In terms of specs though, there are a bazillion non-Apple laptops that beat Apple by miles, so it really depends on what you want? Funnily enough, I have a HP laptop and it's lasted me 2.5 years so far without any problems. Though I have considered looking at an Apple if/when this does die out on me. My main issues then is that everything is guaranteed to work in Windows but there's a chance you'll want to download software, but discover that it's Windows-only. Although I do know that you can install Windows on a Macbook and switch between the two systems though I've never tested it out. Re: right-click though, the Macbooks now can be customized so that tapping the touchpad with two fingers = right click so there's that.
Honestly, if you're comfortable with a PC, I'd go with that because you can get ridiculous specs for under $1000 now. And if you're careful about what you d/l and have decent anti-virus, you don't actually get stuff? I mean, I've only gotten one trojan on this laptop and it was actually my own fault for d/ling a software crack from a suspicious site.

Crying I talk about computers too much.
