1286852 2012-07-08 03:26:00 I think the retina display on a laptop is a joke, being apple they could have made a power efficient and better colour/quality display much easier than this hyped up bollocks of a retina display
Maybe, but nothing gets as hyped as a retina display. Anyway, I'd always like more pixels on my screen.

1286854 2012-07-09 11:16:00 No optical drive & no ethernet port either, and a miserly HDD to boot.
Just keep looking at that screen and open your wallet sir ... :lol:

1286855 2012-07-09 12:27:00 1. Most consumers dont use optical drives

2. Ethernet... What is this ethernet you speak of?

3. Macs are made for people with money, If i had the money there is no way i would not buy a apple laptop. And thats what it comes down to.

1286856 2012-07-09 12:45:00 Of course ... "Less is More!"
It was bollocks the first time around too.

Macs are made to part people from their money for the highest profit margin possible.
Work harder and save your pennies and you too could be gazed upon in admiration by the Appleless masses, as you swish and gleam and purchase from the AppStore.

They are less compatible than Linux, cost more than Windows, do less than either and have a growing malware problem too.

But they are just so shiny!

1286857 2012-07-09 19:26:00 Get a Windows 7 based laptop, makes life easier. goodiesguy (15316)
1286858 2012-07-09 21:47:00 Well they are better laptops than most windows based ones jut very expensive. It will easily last you 7 years aslong as you dont totally munt it. For the laptop i use is a macbook pro g4 because i only need word processing on my laptop and those things just dont die. Slankydudl (16687)

1286861 2012-07-10 00:08:00 They are made for two different consumers. I would go for a baseline macbook air, they are plenty powerful with the new ivy bridge 4000 graphics and are exactly on your price range. Slankydudl (16687)
