  • I hate that Apple make so many stunning products. In the last year I've thrown a small fortune Mr Job's way.

    I'm very much selective ; I use both Windows and Snow Leopard and use both Apple and HP/Sony/.

    really wanted one of these -- OH said no!!!:rotfl::rotfl::o

    Putting aside all the technical arguments, if money isn't an obstacle for you why would you choose a Windows 7 laptop over this machine? It definitely has street appeal.

    I got a quad core i7 laptop from HP with 8Gb of ram and a half decent graphics card in it. If I'm being totally honest windows 7 gave a good 'experience' score but in use it was totally underwhelming. As a package it definitely did not have any grab-me factor.

    I look at mac products and go: damn that's sexy, but I look at the price and suddenly it's not so sexy any more. It feels so much like you'd be paying for a brand rather than the technology yourself. You don't brag about specs with an apple product, you brag about the fact it's an apple product and with so many people buying into apple stuff now, the reaction just becomes: Yeah, so?

    Its like a pandora bracelet. But leave price out of it, and it looks great, is certainly different and will no doubt sell well.
    For those that perform function over form, you can buy 3 or 4 of these for less than the 13" model, and spec is barely different (ignoring chinese build quality / OS)
