1. Do you believe high end portable computers, Macbook pros specifically can perform tasks outside operating system limitations (meaning not apple applications) dramatically more efficiently?

I believe high end portable such as MBP will continue to evade where the current desktop is. The Sandy Bridge is a good example of this, and we will continue to see that in Ivy Bridge with 3D transistor migration.

I doubt it'll ever evade the server market, but for a desktop usage? I totally think so..

2. While cosmetically appealing, high production quality apparent and enforced; what to you justifies the high price on an item which (compared to other materialistic wants/needs) has a short life time before upgrades are implemented?

I actually don't. I'd not pay nearly $3000 on the MBP that I currently use if I were to purchase it myself. This is bought from my work, and I find it very difficult to justify the 2x cost compare to other vendors. Aside from cosmetic and other quality issues (but then, I also think Apple's QA has gotten worse over time as well), of course.



3. Do you feel that Apple markets efficiently enough for you to buy a refreshed product before you have seen your entire payments worth?

They definitely do, and I fell for that.. But then, I am starting to think that Apple has its own set of issues, instead of fixing all the issues in Windows or Linux world.

Font-colour="that annoying colour" you can resell a MBP for more then half the price you bought it for, I am currently selling my MBP just before new ones are released making $200 loss, now for me I would need a new MBP every 2.5years so I pay ~$600 total every 3 years instead of $3500
