Yes, it's mostly the same basic machine except the materials are nicer and the construction is more thought out. The OS is different which is the main factor for most people since it's easier to use. But the price remains the biggest drawback along with the rigid mentality of Apple. For that reason Apple computer will not have as much luck with a "second life" as most PCs does. Better? None is better, it depends what you need. Just understand that like most "popular" brands, you pay for a logo and a known name.

With enough tech savvy and tinkering, a regular laptop could also run the Mac OS. On some laptops it might run better, on some maybe not 100%. And since apple has now been using intel based processors, they can also now use windows and linux OS. But the thing that that an apple laptop have that very few other laptops have is the IPS LCD screen, it is superior to regular LCD screens. But other laptops are catching up by using the cheaper LED screen. All in all, buying into apple products is all about design and style. Since the introduction of Windows 7 and apple shifting to use intel processors, the line between any other laptop with an apple thins more and more. It is the higher end machines really that makes the difference. The Mac Book Pro and the Air, especially the Mac Book Air. Very few laptops can compare to the weigh to performance of the Air.

It depends on who you ask. You couldn't convince me to EVER give up my Macbook, but my brother-in-law absolutely hates when he has to use my computer. Personal preference. I switched to Apple because I was so sick of getting viruses on my other laptop. After using my other laptop for a couple of years it would run so agonizingly slow that it was worth paying the extra money for my Mac. The viruses that infect Windows don't impact Mac at all. I have had the same Macbook for 5 years now, and I can't tell that it has slowed down at all. I love that. They do use different operating systems so some programs won't work with Mac's OS. That's a common complaint about Macs, but I think for the most part now they have software specifically for Mac that is compatible. Not everything will work though.
