Dont forget no DVD drive either, but they say you can wireless borrow another PCs drive
That means people will have to buy another PC just to burn, with only 1 USB port it'll make life so difficult

Whilst it looks like a nice product, is it really that great when you actually look into it? Yes it's nice and thin, but are the compromises worth it?
Slower/smaller hard disk, weak processor, no cd/dvd drive, no ethernet, a single usb port, internal graphics, etc. All of those reductions just to make it that little bit thinner and you still get the rather hefty Apple price tag. Most Apple products are on the expensive side, but at least a few can be considered reasonable value for money. Sadly this product is merely a typical Apple flashy toy, and you pay a premium for it.

They only charge $130 to replace the battery. Thats £60-£70 for parts and labour, doesnt sound like a scam to me. OK, so they could have dirtied up the casing a bit and given users the power to change the battery themselves. How much do you rekon an official replacement battery costs? Probably about £40-50, I know dell certainly charge that kind of money at retail or more.

I wouldn't make too big a thing of the processor. Comparing mac processing to windows processing is like comparing chalk and cheese. Mac gets a lot more punch for your mhz.
It would be nice to have a battery uyou can change yourself, however £60 or 70 seems a reasonable price, a few years ago you would have paid close to that for a new laptop battery from the likes of dell anyway.

He might not but I do. It's actually weirdly satisfying. I would point out though it was a present and I'd have never bought it otherwise.
Also now I've gotten used to it's UI, the way iTunes works actually makes a degree of sense. Although I'm glad I've got my new quad core to run it on because iTunes is still a dog.

Prefect : I agree, OSX is lightyears ahead of windows, but it's still not as user friendly as Mac or mac users would like others to think. Thats something that needs development on both sides.
Worth pointing out that the most input Apple had on OSX/Leopard etc was the logo. Which is no bad thing, it'll run on a PC with variable ease and theres plenty of near identical OS's available :/ |

More lifestyle bullshit from Apple really.
Incredibly overpriced, lifestyle rubbish. I have this arguement with my brother all the bloody time, he states "well why are macs getting more and more popular?" my response is usually along the lines of "Well because dicky little kids who want to be with the 'in' crowd torture their hideously overpaid parents to buy something that costs over £1000 and a new model will come out the following year. I'd rather do my yearly upgrade cycle which costs about £400 thanks. I'd rather use a computer that does what I tell it to rather than being "user friendly" and inevitably tells me what to do. That laptop is a load of bloody garbage when theres so much better alternatives on the market but it'll end up selling because of the lifestyle kids who think it's cool to spend way too much money on a substandard piece of kit because OMG ITS WHITE AND COOL. </rant> Apple are shit.
