I'd choose a Mac over HP. Anyone who says Macs suck is a PC fanboy. Speaking of sucking... these commercials are pretty horrible. It's fine that they use actors and that the commercials are clearly fake, but still I hate the people in them and their completely fake thought process when choosing a computer. And just when I think the commercials can't get any more annoying, a new one comes out. I thought "Jean Paulo" was as bad as it would get, until they had the commercial with that UGLY mophead kid and his douche mom. It doesn't help that the kid and his mom are completely retarded and I always laugh at how the kid clearly doesn't know anything about computers and the mom is even more clueless and just goes along with everything the kid wants.
The kid wants a laptop that's good for gaming. Why? I've never understood why people would shell out even more money to play games on a system that will still be horribly underpowered but cost a lot more and be extremely uncomfortable to play any games on with extra peripherals and stuff. On top of that, they go crazy over blu-ray for it. Once again, another completely worthless addition to a laptop. If the kid wants to play games and watch blu-ray movies, he should get a PS3 for a lot less and then he'll probably have enough extra to do any non-gaming activities that he wants to do, such as locking himself in his room downloading 2GB of porn a day.
