Apple makes pretty good hardware. Their software sucks dick.If you don't like OS X I'm curious why you've got a Mac? To be honest Apple's hardware's no better than anyone elses'.
Let me caveat that: in the 'Windows' laptop market you have a choice of anything from approx £250 up to...a lot. Naturally a £300 machine is not going to compete with an MBP on build quality. It'll be all plasticky and cheap and nasty. That said, buy a £1000-1500+ business class laptop from HP, Lenovo, Fujitsu - hell even Dell - and believe me, it'll be just as nice if not nicer.
The reason to buy Apple is if you like their software. If you do, fair enough. If you don't, you could find better products and better value elsewhere. Personally I'm in the camp that likes OS X but refuses to pay the premium for Apple hardware.
