Anyway, if you want to believe that comparison, go ahead, but its misleading. So they share some of the same hardware, that's a fact, but its not identical. The Macbook is built better, arguably comes with better software pre-packaged into the OS, is backed up by far better customer support than most other competing companies and has an OS that is easier to use than Windows for people who do not use their computer for hours on end every day.
Also, a Mac user is far less likely to get malware/viruses than if they were using a computer running Windows. Yeah, its due to the market share, but you can't discount that as a selling point as well. They do look much better than your average Windows laptop as well, maybe not to you for whatever reason, but I'd imagine the general public thinks so.
The problem here is people on this site are either too stupid or just choose not to look at the bigger picture. There's more to a pre built machine than the hardware inside.

even if that comparison is false, go to sager's website and build something for the same price as a $1400 mac, and see how much better of a laptop you get
you say built better, how does that even make sense. is it more durable so you can drop it more ? are there better quality parts? are the plastic clips made from some space age plastic that never break? your vague use of the word better is feeding the stereotype
better OS is highly subject to one’s personal preferences, as i cant stand using Mac OS's. personal preference yes, but still true none the less.
Far better customer service? you mean those clowns at the genius bar? LOL is all i have for that
Again, the virus/malware thing. I’'ve had my dell for 5 years, with malwarebytes alone, and i have never had a virus. if your mac is mainly for downloading illegal music and watching tons of pr0n, yea maybe it’s a better bet
Look much better? Again, subjective. Im not saying I don’t like the style, but I equally enjoy the looks of most of the ultrabooks and thin laptops on the market. They don’t have a shiny apple, guess that’s worth hundreds of dollars to mac fans
More to a prebuilt machine? Like that? Again very vague and useless. And again, dell/asus/sager/etc do not have bad build qualities, make a better argument.
Finally, the dumbest comment you made, too stupid to look at the bigger picture. Where do I begin. Apparently spending twice the $ on a laptop is looking at the bigger picture. I definitely have nothing better to do with ~$800 in my life, aside from getting a trendy laptop. Oh wait… I do. You are basically referring to people as stupid for not buying a mac. You are the epitome of a fan boy, with terrible debating skills, go make a solid argument as to why macs are better and come back then
