let me break it down for you guys, since my major deals with this stuff.

No matter what anyone tells you, macs are overpriced. It's simple, apple cannot compete with PCs at a business level, so they target individuals by making their products look nice and thin. If microsoft were to sell computers it would mean checkmate apple, but they can't because the government won't let them.

Proven that macs are overpriced, if you really want a mac prepare to pay good money for it. PCs and macs can do pretty much the same thing. I would recommend getting an HP laptop, they're nice and come with a very good price tag on them.
