Back in 2003, Apple came out with the first 17" laptop, which had a design better than some of today's non-Apple laptops, a backlit keyboard, WiFi and BT standard, and many other things. Now? I'm starting to see other manufacturers finally play catch-up; and Apple's machines are still nice... but they're not that far ahead. What happened to them being roughly 10 years ahead? I'm seeing other companies make the leaps that Apple had once been making. That's not to mention that their software has been lacking recently. Stop with the yearly OS releases and stop taking existing applications and screwing them up! Tim Cook is the bane of Apple's existence right now.
