right. I think at 15.6 screen size you're in the middle of the weight variance.
But you do have the numeric keyboard that my 14"er doesn't.
So yeah, yours is 1.6 inches bigger than mine.

My old one is running well with new software and it must be about 3.5 years old. I usually switch out at 2 years though it seems. Though this newer one of mine rocks and is light yet a larger screen. Still was cheaper than a Mac (not a fan of them either).

Computers have been "fast enough" for some time now (for me, ever since the Core 2 with VT-x extensions). I'd still have my Core 2 duo macbook pro from '08, had there not been an unfortunate accident in '12.
My needs are not extravagant - I play some starcraft 2, run some debian VMs, and compile some code. Not difficult in the realm of processing power. I just need it to be reliable and not fall apart in 6 months.
It's not a stretch that Ape's might last 2 years. The MBP would have to last 16. Doorstop.

this.
I get 1yr old technology for pennies, and keep it till it dies or my needs change & then get another one for pennies. Repeat.
Spend the difference between that and an MBP on hotels and alcohol.
edit: & I don't do any gaming. basic basic needs here. biz calulation crap & that's it besides surfing & email, & some photo editing.

I have one at home we've had since 2008 and it still works better than all my other non apple books. The only reason I have a newer one is because of the retina display
I wasn't disagreeing - actually was saying I prefer to switch out every few years. Though I might get this one lasting 3-4 depending on how I feel.
Neat, my sister used to live here. I've hung mannyyyy a time. Much memories

Now you're trying to justify your hyperbole? Please. I wouldn't buy a $3200 laptop (assuming she's still looking at the $400 HP). Mine was $2500.
Congratulations, you've failed to make a valid point.
My kids still use Core 2 Duos - they power both their desktop machine (E8600), and their laptop (P8600). They both still run current OSs (windows 7 and OS X Mavericks), and get along just fine with an SSD and plenty of memory.
