The samsung chromebook is amazing at $250.00. You won't find a better price anywhere for a computer like this. It wouldn't come close to comparing to a macbok air/pro, though, because those cost over 1k, so it wouldn't be a fair comparison. The samsung chromebook has excellent build quality, but not as excellent as apple's. It really depends on what you want to do, as far as which to purchase. If you are fine with an internet-only device that can't install any native apps, go with the Chromebook Pixel. It is $1299 for the wifi only version, but it's build quality is amazing, and in my opinion, better than apple's. Higher resolution screen, more pixels per inch. If you are thinking of running programs like photoshop or MS word, though, you would want to go with the Apple or some windows machine.
