    Did they put a gun to your head and tell you to buy something you didn't want? Or was it your wife or girlfriend?

    There are 2 computers sitting on a table one costs $1199, and the other costs $729. Which are you going to try to hack?
    $1199 = Cheepest MacBook Pro.
    $729 = Dell Vostro with comparable specs.
