1. Style makes your competitors jealous, and slows down their productivity.
2. Why is the iPhone not a real smart phone? Is it because it has (ooh don't say it! Naughty word!) "Style"? Please tell me more.
3. Who cares if he uses sarcasm or not!? It's his posts. Why can't we all just get along?
1. I don't know who you compete with, their age, and what you guys compete on, but my competitors care more about my resuts and the quality of their products compared to mine (and others), not about style at the coffee shop.
2. No, something can have style as well as being a sweet product. The iPhone isn't such a product. Just like the MBA it's style over substance (much like your competitors apparently). It can't do half of what a smart phone can, let alone what a pda phone can. And what it can it doesn't really do well. Oh, well, except for youtube videos, of course.
3. Yes, it's his posts, just like my posts are mine. What strikes me about his use of sarcasm - that he does indeed use it for work - is so badly timed that sarcasm is plainly stupid.
After (unwillingly) admitting that he might as well be using something else - even a PDA or a smart phone (or EEE pc) - you cannot drive your point home with a sarcastic comment like that. It's about rhetoric, and using sarcasm in this instance would mean this somehow was a good choice (or even the best?) for what he "needs".
Besides, aren't you yourself doing what you accuse me of? I guess some people don't think a few steps ahead.
It is obvious to me that the naysayers and haters of the MBA are quite simply jealous of its success and that it is the hot computer that it is baby. It is that one in the crowd that dislikes what he cannot have. When I say that I do not mean due to financial reasons or anything like that. Quite simply it does not fit his needs so he feels he must trash it in any way possible.
Great logic. So an Alfa Romeo is not a rust bucket after all - it's just a matter of different needs. By your logic, no product can be said to be crap, simply because the ones saying it's crap must simply have other needs. Excellent thinking, pal. You wouldn't happen to be a "competitor" to Lord Sam, would you?
They cannot stand that there are people out there that are overjoyed with their MBA and feel that it is the best computer they have ever used.
Assumptions much?
You remind of the people who try to pass of the bible as science, with your continuation of your strawman arguments and all.
I'm saying you could propably do with a PDA, smart phone or an EEE PC. Much lighter choices.
This is my only computer and it completely does everything I need it to do. It does it all at speeds that are faster than any other PC or laptop I have used.
Dead giveaway: Either you're very young or you haven't used that many computers. or both.
It literally puts a smile on my face every time I use it. I went to Cuba last week and used it on the plane to watch a couple of movies I had on the hard drive.....no issues there either.
Ah, yes. Excellent example of using it for productivity. It must be that "style" that slows down the competitors, right?
It's great to know that Apple has come such a long, that your definition of "does everything you want it to" is "I can watch movies on the plane". It puts everything you said into context.
Everyone knows it has its faults as does every other computer ever made but I will take the bad with the very, very good any day and continue to have that smile on my face every time I use my MBA.
Why wouldn't you get a smile on your face from watching movies on the plane? I mean, there cannot possible be any other good use for your computer. And it does it faster than anything you owned before!
PS
Tosser, sounds like you have chosen the perfect username to match your person by your comments on this post.
Must be great having no arguments, and having to resort to something like that. I'm willing to bet, had I been call "red-haired", you'd make some kindergarten remark about that instead. Go watch some movies on your "tool" instead.
My comments are bang on BoingoBanger but I understand your denial.
By now it's obvious who's "in denial". Your comments are so far fetched and assumptious all the while you make a fool of yourself that I'm beginning to wonder if you're for real.
If you really want to talk stupid assumptions or even dumber comments....Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, you are blind.........very witty and original.
Am I missing something, or are you yet again talking "style"? I think that is what separates guys like you from guys like us: You constantly refer to style, whereas we think of of computers as tools, and what's the best and fastest way to get the job done. I guess you're not, since the best productivity exmple you can come up with is watching videos on the aeroplane.
