Macbooks are the current style icon amongst laptop owners - their stylised laptop cases make them stand out from the other laptops, even really expensive laptops from manufacturers like sony are seen as unnatractive or poorly designed in comparison to the finessed macbook and macbook pro. There is downsides to this stylised highly designed look can come at a little price hike, coupled with the slight lack of a gaming grade laptop - their macbook pro's however are high high end and do offer a lot of power and functionality - they just lack the brute game / 3d rendering of the gaming laptops available from acer and sony.
