apple computers are known for average hardware with fancy stuff making it look great.
here you see a mac book pro being opened and you will see how bad it is actually assembled for replacing stuff. If anything inside breaks after warranty you have to buy a new.

Re: Macbook Pro Retina
Thanks for the input. As I said, my brother is a computer programmer and it's his choice to go with a machine his work requires him to use.

Re: Macbook Pro Retina
Sooo many misunderstanding down here, so funny 
As a professional web developper (PHP/MySQL, Javacript, AS3 etc. several frameworks such as Drupal, or other CMS...), I do agree with your borther : I prefer working a Mac.
Why ?
- Way smoother to use (keyboard is just awesome for typing, good contrast of the display, great anti-aliasing for the fonts, tons of small tips/keyboard shortcuts saving you a lot of time, 20x less crashes compared to a PC)
- Great development tool and pieces of software (Textmate, SublimeText also available for both, Mamp Pro way better than Wamp, UNIX file and user system = same as your production system, iTerm, Transmit, Alfred etc.)
- Very silent computers (ty aluminium)
- Pretty nice default sound card, but sound system is bad on laptops
- Good Apple Care for professional use (important !)
- Easy to use/UNIX like package system for Drivers, software updates
- Good battery on laptops (currently typing of 2009 MacBook Pro with half used battery, still 4-5h of use when charged)
- Spotlight ! (even for software based help)
- You can keep it for 4-5+ years without changing anything and still being completely satisfied

Re: Macbook Pro Retina
i never understand what makes ppl choice mac, atm they use the same hardware as pc, if that's a difference of software then what kind of software u guys use on mac what is not available on pc? I just don't know, I have met some ppl what claimed that mac sound or video are great but all those ppl compared them to integrated sound devices and low quality TN monitors without actually comparing gfx, while a professional ss, gfx, monitor cost more than mac and are a lot better, ( just to name few; eizo, emu, pinacle ) those hardware is designed for professionals from their rots and its highly priced
I really don't understand that hype around mac, maybe because I never used a mac, but from my experiences from using iPhone and iPad I never would choice mac because I am scared of the limitations of software

I also don't understand, yet I don't want to say they are shit or not, because I never used one. If I will use one for at least 6 months, I may have an opinion. Mu current opinion about Macs is that they're too pricey.

Pf... ok punk I see you're the gangsta type here, smart ass prick who can't read nor understand because "meth is a hell of a drug". Your brain is mashed potatoes pal so don't spit shit out of your empty stinking carcass of nothing. Tried to be nice to you but you seem to ask for a bigger black cock to come in your mouth.
This situation degenerated out of your retarded brain's fault of not correctly understanding what the matter of fact was. My typing skills compared to yours are like diamond to microbes.
FYI I already check the generic websites you've mentioned because any prick in our internet era is aware of them.
Just lay low to your beer and drugs and leave me be boay.
