I would prefer Sony.wallock said:Mac users want reasonable upgrades (like Dell, Toshiba and HP give).
I feel the MacBook is fairly priced. Although the MacPro make look overpriced, they got the best of the best that I can't afford.wallock said:This next comment is not up for debate, it is simply true. Apple users pay a premium to use Apple computers. For the exact same parts, users pay more. Period. Mr. Jobs can make an exception comparing a topped-out MacPro to a Dells' but in all reality, Apple charges a premium. That's fine, but then keep up with updates.
Omg AMEN to that. For those who say don't wait, buy it when you need it, I'm poor ya know! I need the best of the best, something that can last long and not be obsolete in a year, and something that I can afford (MacBook ).wallock said:What I see here the most are the people who recently bought a MacBook/Pro are the ones telling everybody to stop whining. It isn't about whining, it's about wanting the best from a company they have dedicated themselves to (meaning purchasing of Apple software, accessories, etc...).

wallock said:I know - it's the wonderful software - I LOVE it too! I am not evening complaining about the price!
All I am saying is that indeed Apple users pay a premium and it is VERY reasonable to be a little upset when they aren't updating their computers along the same lines as other manufactures.
Amen.FleurDuMal said:If you simply want top specs for as cheap as possible, then go for a Dell. That's not what Apple is about. Thank God.
A co-worker of mine has had his C2D Dell E1505 laptop for over a week now.pjo said:Also, I'm not aware of any *shipping* merom laptops - but I am aware of shipping merom desktops (called iMacs).

I've actually been quite pleased with my purchases from Dell, no lemons to date.calculus said:I think you mean apples and lemons
Right, it's about appearances. Conspicuous consumption. 'Finely-engineered hardware' - oooh. I know that the beauty of an interior I never look about certainly makes all the difference in the world to my productivity. And boy howdy, I'd just die if my laptop were a half-inch thicker (consequently cooler).wallock, I think you misunderstand why people buy macs. It's about far more than a spec list (at least it is for me)
That's good to hear - sorry sometimes I have to go for the obvious joke!balamw said:I've actually been quite pleased with my purchases from Dell, no lemons to date.
For you. For a yuppie in search of a home appliance, it might just work.milozauckerman said:Apple's yuppie home appliance strategy is a dead end.
