1st: Agreed. To each his own. I prefer the design of the Air. It is aesthetically pleasing to many, but as a point of fact, it is the most streamlined and there are no bulky or protruding blocky parts. Reminds me of sleek aircraft.
2nd: Various looks have been around for years, yes, what's your point? Did you not notice I was complimenting Samsung on the series 9 look?
I didn't bring up a discussion about inventions or patents - I just made a statement about who did what first, and who's doing the rip-off - and everyone knows it.
The fact remains that Apple was the first to use an "oversized" "buttonless" glass multi-touch trackpad, and now others are copying them. End of story.
3rd: Some people take Windows over MacOS. Having used both for years, I still don't understand that, but whatever floats your boat.
4th: No I'm not. And it's funny too, cause if PC mfgs wanted to reduce costs, they'd ship with Linux.
No, PCs can't just run MacOS X nowadays. You can create a "Hackintosh" but good luck getting support for Mom with that setup.
5th: People have been talking about design, price and spec as objects of the discussion. I guess you haven't been paying attention.
have to sleep so i can only respond to this right now.
I was referring to the specific context in which i made my post (that you in turn commented on). That was specifically on looks, no more no less.
Good night.
