Then spend 1k on a comprable laptop and it'll still blow the lid off the mac (hardware specs + utility), while delivering that quality construction you talk about

As for the whole mac dual boot thing. Dont expect it to execute hardware intensive programs as well as a comparable windows machine

Still, if all youre looking for is something that is consumer media centric, and you're frustrated with windows, then go for it. But FWIW: virtually a majority of the tasks I run on my laptop are not apple compatible.

Agreed. Apple has great advertising. They know how to sell a machine. Just like Budweiser. They know how to sell a beer. But Bud and Apple suck as a product. When it comes down to it, Windows wins.

Using a Mac or any Apple product is like saying you'd rather have a light switch than a dimmer switch. Sure, it's easier to use, it's simple, but hell, I'd like some freedom for christ's sake once in a while.

I'd disagree, Mac Laptops have always felt cheap and flimsy compared to most x86/x64 laptops I've ever handled. Not to mention Mac Laptops are always, always exactly twice the cost of what they actually should be.

You have to give Apple credit for essentially designing the best user interface for a touch screen phone from the ground up. Everyone else just copies them.

I wouldn't say it sucks though. It's just not for me.

No battery swap.

No swappable memory. Jesus you have to jump $100 in price to double the memory that you could do with a $20 memory card, and the sky is still the limit there.

Touch screen is great on its own, but it's bad for composing long e-mail and using the web.

No multitasking.

You CAN do both data + calls at the same time but you can't do both WELL.

The PHONE aspect sucks. What's the point in getting a smartphone if the call quality sucks?

i like the app store and the ease of apps integrated into the os

These threads are just inane.

If iPhone users want to argue about it... just let them. None of their arguments are going to sway you. And none of your arguments are going to sway them.

Just be mature enough to let it go.
