Your paying for the OS, which IMO, is worth it. If OSX worked on PC parts (100% natively, not hackintosh), and all games were supported, I wouldn't even touch Windows. I love OSX like a mother loves their child. :)

I have a 20" iMac (Last gen), two iPhones, and an iPad (iMac and iPad are my wife's). Am I an Apple freak? Sorta... but I won't ever give up PC's and modding until OSX can support my hobbies; reviewing, modding and gaming. Until then, PC will always be my main rig.

Now, to the topic, I want a 15" MacBook Pro, pronto. Is it worth the price tag? It is, if you utilize it, best way to answer it. :)

I love OS X as well, but it's not worth hundreds of dollars. I also own a 20" iMac (white Core 2 model), an iPhone 3GS, 80GB iPod Video, and an old G5 Power Mac that was given to me. I'm no Mac hater, but for the premium of the Macbook, I'd rather just hackintosh a regular lappy, and use the money I saved to buy a more powerful lappy.
