i was with you until this...
GAME ON.
i look at and feel my laptop every day. you're damn right i'll pay extra for something better.
currently shopping 13" and 15" macbook pros. my five year old macbook pro was still going great until i poured water on it. i haven't met a pc laptop yet that didn't feel sluggish or be in dire need of replacing after five years... i've got no good data to back it up, just observation.
also,

call it fanboys, but i couldn't find a single opinion saying PCs lasted longer.
it's similar to my parents buying a 2003 impala because it was a few grand less than a similar accord or camry. come resale, that car with like 60k miles was worth $3500. the accord or camry? probably $9000. think big picture...
