If I owned one I could tell you more, but the reasons I've given are enough to make me like a mac laptop specifically, more than any other laptop I've ever used without question. In fact, I find using other laptops a hassle when I recall the convenience of a mac. Sleek and convenient. Love em.
You can do all of that on windows. I just tried. Except for the screen part, idk if MBP screens are different somehow. Though mine looks like ass because I tend to abuse my laptops.

This analogy kind of sucks because Macs aren't particularly fast, nor are Windows computers particularly powerful compared to the other. The Mac towers get ridiculously powerful and come to think of it speed tends to equate to power in computing.

True, but my point was that you can buy or assemble a computer compatible with OS X rather than actually buying a Mac for triple the price.
