Normally, I wouldn't be interested in macs, but it seems my school may be forcing us to pay for macbooks, whether we want them or not. So can someone give me some pros about a macbook, and why I should pay $400 to rent one for 2 years.

Refuse. Why should you have to shell out triple digit payments for something you don't want? Complain to the headmaster/principle if it comes to it.

Yes you can get better value elsewhere. But no-one but a bunch of nerds is going to be impressed by your' home built zomg uber machine with i7 processor and 12 gigs of ram. No-one is going to be impressed that you built a PC with the same specs a Mac for half the price. Particularly not girls. I might be impressed by your' uber machines, the people on this site might be impressed but most people wont.

I find it cute how you think Macbooks are "impressive". I built my own PC, my Dad has a Macbook, guess which one gets more interested and approving comments.

Hard to argue with reality.
