Hello, how can you convince your mom to buy a mac notebook like a normal macbook air 11 inch or a macbook pro retina or not retina. Anyway, my grandfather (from my mom's side) baught a macbook pro retina display 15 inch that costs 1,600 US dollars to my cousin (From my dad's side). I love programming and I'm looking forward to be a software developer. I already own a macbook white 2009 edition but it lags so much and it is very slow. Everytime I try to program it lags. I keep on telling my mom but she just doesn't want to listen. I baught a samsung notebook windows 8 but it seems so laggy and I hate pc's so my dad wanted to take it to work. How can I ask my mom or convince my mom to buy a mac. In my previous report card I got 7 out of 7 in humanities, 7 out of 7 in spanish, 7 out of 7 in 4 diffrent subbjects. Over the last 4 months I never asked her to buy one, so can anyone help me ask her or persuade her.

Wasting money? Hardly. Show me a laptop that has the MacBook Pro's specifications (and not only a faster CPU, as if numbers where everything) and costs clearly less and we can talk.

First, you can try showing her that a Windows laptop with HiDPI screen, thunderbolt ports, PCI-E SSD, great trackpad, fast WiFi, longe battery life (the list goes on...) will cost about the same. If not, I'd go with Apple's certified refurbs. They are kinda a great way to save money. Quite durable too, also having one year of warranty.

You can get a nice and neat Ivy Bridge rMBP 15 with the GT 650M for as little as US$1500.

Clearly your sarcasmometer is miscalibrated.
Wasting money = buying a teenager yet another laptop. He has a Mac. He recently got a Samsung but is dissatisfied with it.

I blushed with this one. I'm sorry. I might be a bit overly defensive about this.

It's just that on every Mac thread there is someone to call them 'expensive rubbish' and then recommend a PC with half the features but a faster CPU/GPU with the old argument that 'you can get more for less' as if a laptop user experience where dictated exclusively by higher benchmark numbers.
