I understand what you're saying, but that doesn't mean that it can't be done. It's almost the same reasoning for why the Mac isn't in the majority in the corporate environment....that doesn't mean that the Mac can't do it.

c'mon people. you're going to love your hardware either way. everyone here knows exactly how the computer business is run. there will always be something new releasing like every 18 months. if you keep on holding out for the next best gadget, you'll be left holding out forever, and still have your hands empty.
just a word from the wise.

But the difference here is Apple doesn't have Core2Duo while every other manufacturer does. If they're on par with everything else then I don't care.

I hoped the move to Intel would mean Apple would be forced to offer timely hardware revisions. Guess I was wrong. The only difference is that now there's no blaming it on anyone else.

No for the base line price of a Mac Book you can get a Win laptop with the specks of a MBP (ie Acer dual core 1.66 ghz, ati 1600 128mb video card and 100gb hard drive just under 1,200 bucks. The MB does no come close to that for 1,200 bucks.

It's got Front Row though. Plus an iSight. This adds much value.

they are, of course, gimmicks.
