Good point, maybe we just have less money in Africa :D

A Macbook Pro is currently going for around $3500(USD), so its really hard for me to convince myself its worth it.

Whoah, that's definitely not the price everywhere in the world. I guess they really are expensive in your country. (I wouldn't quite generalize to Africa – I live in Africa, too, and I don't think Macs are that expensive here.)

South Africa, though to be honest, that is for the 17" version.
