Actuallya shit laptop that costs the same as a mid-range laptop. I think it's important to remember that bit.
Hardly surprising; with the Macbook, Apple already established that their business model was to sell mid-range laptops for the price of a top range laptop. This is just the next logical step.

What will they sell for the price of shit laptops?A slap from someone at the genius bar, perhaps.

I'm the only one in my family not obsessed with Apple products.I get their hand-me-downs though as I am using a Mac G5 and have an old-style iPod (hard disk version) so I get the stuff eventually. I'm due to get an iPhone in a few months when daughter's contract runs out and she upgrades to the larger version. One of them will no doubt be purchasing an iPad the moment it is available so I guess I'll get one of them sometime as well.

what I want to know isdoes being a well dressed young man make you want to buy Apple products, or does owning a iphone force you to crave cock?

Intriguing.Perhaps it's more to do with latent urges; buying an iPod makes you realise that deep down you've enjoyed musical theater all along.

I don't understand what all the fuss is about.Some people understand how good Macs are, other people don't. The latter group aren't forced to go out and buy the overpriced crap, so why do they spend so long moaning about it?

Im confused about which group is which now.Many of us have spouses and children who are fooled my Apple's slick marketing into thinking that Apple's products are in any way okay, so we are forced to by them due to pester power. Mrs Trumpet is demanding I buy her an iPhone and so far I've put my foot down, but I don't know how much longer I can resist her incessant nagging.

My question is: Why do PC users spend so much time moaning about Macs and their apparently ridiculous prices?I think Ferraris are overpriced, but I've never driven one so I can't say that, really. I don't go around complaining about this though.

If your wife was nagging you day in, day out to buy her a Ferrariyou'd have the right to complain too.
Particularly when you knew there were other supercars for the same price that were waaaaaaay better.
Ferraris are clearly overpriced, given that they basically do the same thing that a Vauxhall Corsa does.

Macs are absolutly fantastic for some things, and PCs are better for others.
When I said I hated apple, what I should have said is that I hate things like the iPod, iPhone, iPad etc... I just think they are overpriced and crap for what they are, I will reserve judgment on the iPad until I actually use one.
The computers are fine, my mac mini gets used quite a lot, I use a PC more because I was not shelling out for a Macbook when I could buy a reasonable laptop for a lot less.
They still smell funny though

I honestly think that iPods are the best MP3 players you can buy ...But the price difference between them and the next alternative may well be more than it needs to be.
And as someone who shelled out £400 for a PayG iPhone a year ago, I'm not going to complain about that. It is so much easier to use than any other smartphone (touch-screen or otherwise) I've seen though.

The iPhone is not technically a smartphoneas you cannot expand it's functionality without using proprietary technology owned by Apple. Whereas phones that support programming languages like Java and C++ can have their functionality expanded by anyone who cares to learn the language.

How can something 'technically' be a made-up category?Smartphone doesn't mean anything.

Yeah, it's only words that a person made up to mean something.It's not like words mean nuffink or anyfink. Much better to stick with the naturally occurring words, rather than using words made up by people. Bloody people.

They are good, argubly the best you can buy, but the price is just too high for what it is.
