because appearently 50% of apple users dont use their computers to work.For some reason MacRumors users are never happy, no matter what Apple does. Plastic MB users whined about cracks, yellowing, etc on their MBs and wanted alu bodies.
When MBs got those alu bodies, people whined it blurred the line between MBP and MB, so Apple renamed the MB while adding a couple of "Pro" features. Now, MB and MBP are separated by case material as it have been prior to Unibody. People whine that their 2000$ MBP has the same name as 1200$ MBP and so feel a need to whine a little more.
There was no Apple notebook larger than 13" under 2000$. People whined. Now Apple introduced such model and priced it at a very nice 1700$. Now people whine it doesn't have all the features of the 2000$ model.
I just don't get it![]()
if someone can afford to be without a computer for two weeks in order to get a 0.1ghz increase in CPU thats beyond me... i have a desktop and i know right now id be shaking because i couldnt work if someone took the laptop away.
so for most people, the 1000$ increase in 2" screen and 0.5ghz of cpu DOESNT MATTER. because Safari wont work any faster with it. not to mention 1.5 SATA controllers. for what, encoding home movie collections? thats hardly "pro", thats hardly anything, its a 1000$ worth of entertainment.
so dont try to justify the allegedly 300$ GPU, if you cant justify a 0.5 CPU increase for anything than recoding personal movie collections.
so this thread is pointless from the beginning, you can go so far that you can say that the more than half users that have a MBP DONT NEED more than eee PC for what they do.
