1) This is so true !
Look how many YEARS it took Apple to offer anything above the basic low-res, big font, old persons display.
Apple always has had this incessant need to boast about being the first, the best, blah.. blah... blah... They're like the most insecure little kid on the block.
2) Once again you're so right. Not only that, but these other quad core laptops come with well engineered cooling systems. The Mac comes with lip service.
3) I laughed so hard at this TRUE statement
At the end of the day Apple would do itself a great service by acting like a responsible company, not a spoiled little rich kid with no clue... Ha... Ha... Ha ...
Despite it's shortcomings I like my 15" 2010 MBP, but record setting it's not. Oops, let me take that back, it's the the hottest running of all but my first Unibody MBP.
Finally, and the most telling of all, is Apple and their fanboys become so enraged when confronted with the truth! They've lived in Steve Jobs "Reality Distortion Field" for so long, the poor guys are delusional.
But I will say they've been like the guys on bikes in suits, bibles in hand, going door to door. They've sold Apple religion to the masses more successfully than Scientology.
Tom Cruise would be so proud...
