My birthday was in September, and it seemed in July and August that I
was seeing lots of advertisements for MacBook Pros for about $1200 --
about what I had originally paid for the MacBook I was interested in
replacing...
  So I went seriously looking at configurations and options, I found
that one with a Retina display (and possibly a couple of other options I
liked) was going to run about $2500.  (I think that's called "Sticker
Shock"...)
  Since my most recent 16" Win7 laptops had cost a bit under $400
apiece, that was a non-starter.

  I'm afraid my only experience with a Toshiba laptop was more than 20
years ago.  The office I was working in bought one, and when it died
after 6 weeks, my boss was very upset to find that it had come with only
a 30-day warranty.
