There a couple vital things we see here. First of all, the first place she looks is the Apple Store. Then, when she cant find a cheap-o computer there, she has to settle for a PC. The stats of said HP are as follows:
- AMD Turion™ X2 Processor
- 2.1GHz Processor Speed
- 1440 x 900 17" Display
- 4GB RAM
- 320GB Hard Drive
- Up to 2 hours and 30 minutes Battery Life
Lets compare these to the stats of the 17" Macbook Pro
- 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor
- 4 GB RAM
- 320 GB Hard Drive
- 1920x1200 High Resolution LED Display
- 8 hour Battery Life
Alright, we know the Macbook Pro costs around $2000 more than the HP 'Lauren' got. But with a much higher resolution display, a much faster processor, a much longer battery, and a much more stable operating system, Lauren's HP is probably going to last half as long, if that, before the battery will die or the software will become greatly outdated.
So go out and buy a PC if you find that you 'are not cool enough' to buy a Mac, and you would like to settle with a computer that will fail you.

i see you're saving for 17 mac book pro. I had one for my last job, at first i thought it was great, then they sent me on travel and i had to lug that thing around. if you are looking for just a nice desktop replacement notebook computer to move from one room to another yeah 17 inch is great, but if you are going to carry it around a lot get macBook air and a cinema display for you home/office
