Lol! It's nice to know someone else seems to think the same on Macs! Although they're good for some things, I wish they'd stop thinking they're the best thing since sliced bread. Gave me much satisfaction when they were hardly rated in some of the top 10's for 2007 particularly with their iphone!

They do create some good stuff but the hype just really puts me off..... And I can usually get more for my money elsewhere!

That's true. I didn't bother getting the iphone and friends that did regretted it. Apparently the battery life is awful.

Speaking of battery life, how will the battery be on this laptop? I can see them trying to integrate it so that it can't be changed. All fine and well, but the battery usually the first thing to die on a laptop. At £1199 it's a bit expensive for a disposable laptop.

Anyone confirm how the battery is integrated?

No ones saying there the best........


its just Bill Gates hasn't touched it too much which in general makes both Mac and PC users happy. Rather than everything he touches turning to gold it turns to pieces .
