after working in IT my entire adult career (almost 15 yrs), i converted to Mac within the last few months. Wont look back most likely.
That being said, I still have a windows desktop at home and it will remain that way

I paid $3400 for a fully loaded MBP a year and a half ago.
The GPU is going out and needs replacing... scared to find out what it will cost for Apple to replace it.
Never again.

Thing with Apple Laptops is they are really good but if something breaks, forget about it. Replacement parts can sometime equal up to more than what you paid for the laptop. It adds up quick and it's not even funny. Not trying to say don't get one but whatever you do if you buy one get Apple Care.
BTW anyone have any opinions on the Certified Apple Refurbished Laptops you can buy on their web site?

I buy almost exclusively manufacturer refurbished items. The Apple refurb quality is good enough that they'll let you buy standard AppleCare for it. Would be good enough for me if I were currently looking for an Apple product.

MacBook Air has about a 12 hour battery life, and charges full in about an hour. They also just lowered their prices too.
Just bought one last month. Upgraded the hardrive and ram. It's pretty awesome.

It depends on what you're trying to do with it.
If she's going to be using it to just goof off and watch internet videos, a mac book is an easy answer. They're reliable and easy to use if she already has other apple products which it should work seamlessly with.
If she wants to do any kinds of games or lots of word processing, excel, ect, a PC laptop might be a better option.

why?
i have the full microsoft office suite on my MBP and while i'm not a gamer I would assume 16gb of ram and an Intel i7 would handle anything I threw at it

You paid $3,400 for a laptop and didn't get Apple Care?
ETA: Have you even brought it in? The closer to the warranty date you bring it in, the more likely they'll still fix it. Especially on such an expensive model.

Office on a mac is often less functional and can be prone to compatibility and formatting issues when transferring from a PC to an apple device.

I've had both and if you can afford unquestionably a MacBook
Don't let someone convince you its hard to switch
