Oh really? 3.4% worldwide and 7.2% US.
Like I said in another thread, after those college students are finished with college and they have their liberal arts degrees and they're working at McDonalds and finally paying for their own life, let's see what computer they buy.
>>>Here we go with the stupid cost argument. You get what you pay for. Yes I can drive a crap car that will get me to work and eat junk food that will keep me alive but what about quality of life.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Windows Windows was released in 1985. And I said "almost" two decades. I've been using it since Windows 3.0.
>>>So many years around and they still have not learned a thing. Vista!!!
What reviews? CNET reviews? They're the 3 Stooges of technology sites.
Let's see.. 2ms response time, 50,000:1 contrast ratio, HDMI, 24" 16x9 display rather than out of proportion 16x10, and not so glossy you get a headache just looking at it. Hmmm.
>>>Just buy anti-gloss cover and get over it!
And how many PS3 games run at 1080p? On top of that, how many PS3 games actually run at 720p? The PS3 has more games that run at 640p than any other system. GTA4, the biggest game of last year, ran at 640p compared to the Xbox360s 720p. With the exception of GT5, which has cardboard cutout environments, PS3 games that claim 1080p only run at 720p or 640p upscaled to 1080p.
>>>Not true about GTA, it ran at 1080p but there was a few problems with it after 2.35 came out. List of games that run at 1080p
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_full_HD_1080P_PS3_games
Yeah and look how well Sony is doing. Their system has the lowest average resolution, they're in a very distant third place, and their system isn't even half as capable as they claimed it was. 1080p is a pipe dream for their games unless they have cardboard cutout enivronments like GT5.
>>>Distant third yes but the Nintendo Wii outsold both the PS3 and Xbox anyway but for your information the PS3 sales just overtook the Wii in Japan.
And what happened to the multiple ethernet ports on the PS3? Dual HDMI ports? support for dual displays at 1080p? And what happened to Sony's commitment to backwards compatibility? One year they say "Playstation will live in forever through backwards compatibility" and that backwards compatibility is "paramount to the strategy". Then a year later backwards compatibility was gone. What happened to SACD support? The important card readers and multiple USB ports? Yeah exactly. Microsoft has actually ADDED to the Xbox360 both in hardware and software features, while Sony has done nothing but take away feature after feature after feature.
>>>Ohhh please and the HDD drive and HD movies that everyone bought!
Blu-ray is great for movies. But for games? Sorry but the PS3 has worse loading times than the old Sega CD. And so far blu-ray has offered NO advantage for games. If you actually keep up on the industry as you claim, you'd know that PS3 blu-ray games are mostly filled with dummy files.
PS3 isn't even capable of rendering games at 1080p at a reasonable framerate, unless its cardboard cutouts like GT5's environments. The PS3 can't even keep a steady framerate at 640p, like GTA4. The PS3 is a joke.

Killzone 2! Metal Gear Solid! what planet are you from!!!
Theres a lot of PCs that do use DDR3.
>>>So!!
First of all, 32-bit apps run just fine in Vista 64. With drivers, you'd be hard pressed to find a device that does NOT have Vista 64 support. Even my 5 year old PCI TV tuner has Vista 64 drivers.
Which don't run in hybrid SLI like they do on proper Windows machines. You can only run one or the other.
>>>Yeah have fun looking for those drivers.
Yeah, guess which one customers are choosing? Right now, blu-ray is growing faster than DVD did. If you compare DVD at 2.5-3 years old to blu-ray, you'll find that blu-ray has TWICE the marketshare of DVD at that same point in time. Which translates into faster growth than ANY consumer video format ever. Meanwhile, the Apple TV is failing and doesn't even have a fraction of the marketshare that blu-ray does.
Don't even begin to compare quality. iTunes HD is at 720p, 4.5Mbps. Blu-ray is 1080p at up to 45Mbps. There is NO comparison. None.
>>>Yes that does matter if you play it on a large screen but on a laptop or desktop it will be fine.
UniBody MacBook owner here. It is NOT built as well as my plastic HP.
>>>LOL oh please. The precision aluminum unibody process is a testament to Apple quality build. Your plastic HP is better built than that. I pity you if you really believe that.
The MacBook Pro is better in features than the system in this ad? I don't think so. No blu-ray, no HDMI, no card readers, OS X, worse build quality, etc.
>>>No Blu-ray, so what! Why would you want to play Blu-ray on a laptop anyway. Blu-ray movies are for 42+ screens minimum. There is a card reader for MBP and if OSX is so bad why is Microsoft knocking it and then copying it! Build quality! No comment!
HDMI is going nowhere? Is that why nearly every Windows notebook PC that isn't a netbook has HDMI? Is that why every good display out there includes HDMI? Also, you get digital audio out over HDMI. Uncompressed multi-channel PCM
Which is entirely overrated.
>>>I am glad you happy to wait for you screen to light up after three minutes, probably how long it takes you to log in anyway!
Such a small marketshare? Again, Blu-ray has twice the marketshare as DVD did at the same point in its life. Blu-ray is growing faster than DVD did.
Can't tell the difference? Spoken like someone who has never seen a blu-ray movie. The difference between blu-ray and DVD is greater than the difference between VHS and DVD.
Blu-ray movies have also come down in price. They cost no more now than DVDs did at the same point in their life. Same for the players. A good player can be had for around $250 now, same as DVDs at the same point in its life.
