I agree with D Lincoln about the feelings part.

If you’re one of the people crying about the headline or were offended by the article you’re probably one of those people who put that stupid Apple sticker on your car.

“Hey everyone, look how cool i am! Do you accept me now?”

Novice,
When I got out of college I used to design real-time process automation systems using QNX. I have used Windows (all version from 3.1), Linux (slackware, SuSe, Gentoo, Debisn, etc…), FreeBSD, OpenBSD, solaris. You name it, I used it.

I honestly prefer FreeBSD as an OS. Mac OS X is built off of OpenBSD. I get the nice GUI and a plethora of applications I use on a hard-core framework.

Also, they do not use different processors. Mac is all Intel. The same Intels Windows PC’s use.

In Windows vs Mac OS X, I prefer Mac OS X.

apple is for less smart media people. smarter technical or business people use windows.

lol, ok, apple is not for dumb people but guys, these two products serve different segments in a way. im not a techie but i think their processors use different instruction sets, each being optimised for what it does.

I think it’s a pretty safe call to say that any of us who mod consumer electronics just to be different are dorks. Oh, and if you catch feelings over the wording of a post title, you’re definitely a dork; you just don’t know it.

Wow, all this hatred. I know I’m not the nicest person in the world – but wow.

I understand that Apple products carry a price premium over similar hardware but In no way do they produce crap. My MBP is solid, fast and with the new penryn – its much cooler. That and the screen is a thing of beauty. How many laptop manufacturers have 17″ LED backlit 1920×1200 displays? The overall design, layout and functionality in a laptop that’s 1″ thick.

How about one of you Apple haters name a company that produces a professional level 17″ laptop that is 1″ thick or less? C’mon, name one. Name a laptop that has a high resolution LED backlit 17″ display.

In my opinion, its well worth the money.

WOW! Ease off! Who said Apple fans are dorks? Going to a bit of an extreme here? Don’t be mad just because you only started using Apple AFTER they became so popular. Try to suppress your embarrassing memories of carrying around a hp or Dell in college. I’ve been using Apples for 15 years and I still won’t buy an iPhone, because AT&T coverage sucks where I live.

Does their site say anything about battery life? Am I the only one thinking how does that not kill battery life especially with push e-mail?

They are bias towards Apple. It cannot get anymore obvious than in the last couple months. The headline is trying to downplay the Apple love but you can’t escape from the truth. BG is a pro Apple website. I feel like I am reading Slashdot at times but with pictures.

This could have been nice if Apple includes it and uses it as a flash for the camera.

Kinda f#%$ed up how you worded your headline, they took their time doing this mod and it came out hot, yet you bashed them. Thats just not cool…

Its one thing if it came out looking like a nightmare but that actually looks hot enough to try, and im not even a apple guy.
