the only good thing about apple is their slim keyboard.
the buttons depress very quickly for great response times which was good back in the days of when i had to do computing.
in fact this is the only good concept by apple.
holy shit i do agree.

I'm on my third iPod, second iPhone and first MacBook of my own, at 17. I'm a sucker for looks I'll admit, everything looks sooooooo nice! Like the interface.... ooooohhhhhh it's nice. Other than aesthetics... they're not that great. Will never stop using Microsoft products all-together (they made AoE
). They may not look that great... but they work fairly well... until they get a virus.

Yet I didn't learn my lesson and got another one. It's like I'm having a naughty affair with Apple, I just can't give it up. But I don't tell Microsoft. They're the reliable frumpy old husband. Lol
Being an Apple, where looks count and functionality goes out the window lol..... basically the one button it had... BROKE!holy shit, second iphone?

I think the case is that truthfully, most computers suck lol. We are still in the dawn of the computing age, and because of that, computers are rather 'stupid' devices.

Why would anyone want a 'desktop replacement' for a laptop anyway? I'd run windows, or basically something other than OSX on my desktop just because I can use a wider selection of hardware/software... but if I wanted a laptop I think macs have the best design.

Additionally, the trackpad is fantastic. IT IS A THIRD OF THE BELOW-KEYBOARD SPACE. It is MASSIVE. And the multitouch gestures (such as two fingers for smoooth scrolling) are fantastic.
Yeah, for the same price that I payed for my Macbook I could have gotten a Dell laptop with (at least) twice the hard drive capacity, four times the RAM, a bigger screen and a slightly faster processor.
But I decided to opt for a Unibody Macbook. I don't need 8 GB of RAM (remember, you need 64bit Windows to address it all) and I definitely don't need more than 230 GB of storage on my device (an external hard drive for my complete video collection is fine). The only thing that I have ever regret (regret? regretted?) is the smaller horizontal resolution, and I only regret that when using Interface Builder (programming thing).
But in the end, I feel quite satisfied with what I bought, and that is all that really matters. I knew I was going to I buy a high end laptop from the very beginning. After all, you do get what you paid for.
The reason I love my Macbook soo much is because the chassis is made from a single piece of aluminium. You have no idea how strong, solid and light it feels.

Really? I am completely the other way around! I love and adore Windows 7. I think it is the best thing Microsoft has put out in 10 years (excluding the Zune HD), but it still does not beat OS X
Re: Gosh don't you just love Apple!!! I mean ugh...so hard to keep it professional ha
I am loving the new iTunes, especially the new Store and album view. I am not really liking the new 'shiny' play buttons, but everything else is nice.

An aluminium chassis and a giant trackpad?

Mac OS is very appealing... and Apple computers are just very expensive but they were known to last a very long time. Personally, I don't have the money for one and I think they're a rip off. imo.

It is just so beautifully designed. No visible air vents, and light and solid construction. And the trackpad! It really is beautiful is so functional. Using two fingers too smoothly scroll makes sense, unlike having to slide your finger around on the edges of the trackpad. A quick and simple four-finger swipe to view all your opened applications, or another four-fingered swipe (in the other direction) to show the desktop.
Here's a practical advantage of the unibody case. A friend of mine (stupidly) carts his Macbook around in his schoolbag without a case of any kind. One day, there is a reasonably sized dint in the side of his Macbook. But it was only a dint. Any other laptop would have cracked or splintered or something much worse that might actually affect the performance of his laptop.
It is all these innovative features that make the Macbook Pro so damn appealing. When was the last time you saw a Windows laptop innovate?
You really have to see and use one in person too see why these features are so useful and appealing.
Fuck yeah!

Mac/Apple just win with the trackpad and in terms of design and ergonomics which are quite good also (while being sleek and chic - rhyme not intended). I find that Apple laptops are extremely good on battery... unlike PCs which tend to eat battery like a fat kid with a packet of chips.

Re: Gosh don't you just love Apple!!! I mean ugh...so hard to keep it professional ha
the thing is most of the things you guys are saying that windows laptop's have is not microsofts fault it is the hardware manufacturers!!
Such as visible air vents, durability, trackpad
and the battery life is not good because of OSX it is good because of the battery itself, if you are actually going to use the battery life then buy a 6 or 9 cell battery for your PC that will last 5-9 hours depending on use.
Joshhunt, you know what is a durable laptop, the MSI wind, i have dropped mine about 7 times it gets bashed around in my bag, it has fallen so hard the battery fell out, and it still works as well as the day i bought it with no more evidence then a scratch!

Did anyone see the add (by dell, or microsoft or someone?) where they went out and gave people $1000 to buy a laptop and everyone said 'I want a macbook but i can't afford one.'
Ha.

hahaha! Well played, microsoft!
Apple is good, just way too overpriced.
I like their ipods and iphones, just not laptops/computers.
