That Curve 8310 (is that it?...) looks very nice.

I say this all the time, but the apple/mac fanboys always attack me. Those computers are crap boxes as well.

I'm sorry but how are they crap? They just work differently than what you are used to and are pricier and are used for different areas. I fail to see how they are crap (except overpriced).

Not so much the laptops (i guess...) but those stupid imacs. You know, the ones that are a monitor and a tower all in one? How the heck are you supposed to upgrade one of those when it gets old and you wanna upgrade? Or, when the motherboard dies? My grandparents own/run their own Church pew/church interior manufacturing business and the motherboard crapped out on that computer and of course i could not replace it because it was an imac. I could have if it were normal but they ended up having to take it to the apple store or something and had to pay for something i could have done on a tower for free. Not to mention the thing was just slow, and so were all those colored CRT's from back in the day. Dont get me started on that garbage...

In short, imo, (and i have been given good reason for this opinion) they are just junk, plain and simple. Combine that with being way over priced, and you have a certified Grade A loser. I will never buy, or recommend, an apple computer.

I guess it's for 'space issues' but how much space do you freaking need? lol maybe if you live in tokyo japan or something... I guess i don't know anything about the laptops but if they are anything like the desktops (and they say the desktops use "laptop technology") they yeah, no thanks. I'll pass.

An imac is a desktop macbook pro more or less. As for the old colored imacs, mine is still running... can't say that about my compaq from around the same time.

If my MBP decided to die I would be heading right over to the Apple store to get a new one (although I think I still have 1 year on my warrenty). I love it since I live in the shell and prefer unix. If a laptop vendor offered a nice metal laptop instead of the typical POS plastic thing then I would have no problem with that. A MBP just makes more sense to me at this point in time.

Well apparently you never worked with a Mac Pro.

I do have to agree Apple stuff are overpriced for "low price" stuff. but the Macbook Pro really have a nice metal frame which no other laptop can even offer. You don't only pay for the apple stickr, you also pay for the little bit of quality and design there's in.

Now, for some people their Thermaltake Armor is better lookign than a Mac Pro one. Yea for sure, but for a mid tower the Mac Pro can fit a dual Xenon and 4 video cards without any bit of overheating and any problem at all (and we wont even talk about wiring mess - there's no such thing in a Mac). Now, tell me how such a system would cost in a PC - and tell me exacly which softwares will run better under Windows - or Linux, since alot of people over here are pro-Linux - than under a Mac environment. Tell me of a company that will offer you a really nice warranty without paying for al the crap - think Dell, HP, Alienware, whatever plastic-loaded junk they have to offer, with the poor customer service they have to offer in addition to the low-grade performance that you get with that.

Plus, Macs are not designed for games and fun - they're made for some serious stuff. While Photoshop may look the same to you between the PC and Mac version, the small differences there are makes it better for the Mac version. And Photoshop is just one of them. Some people need softwares that some other people wrote for Mac instead of PC, maybe because Mac happen to be more stable and performing than a similary built PC, and Im talkign about any recent Intel Mac.

Finally, since I was able to succesfully install Mac OS X 10.5.1 into my old G1 laptop, I can quickly compare Windows versus Mac on the same rig, and I can tell you, for professionnal stuff, Mac wins that round. If I would have searched more for a better installation, better Kernel, better drivers I wouldnt have the 3-minute long OS load but instead a quick 30-sec from the slow BIOS load to the desktop, ready to do everything. Additionally, those hacked home-made drivers were not fully stable and would sometime make some softwares crash, but for something that was done by a rookie who dont know a thing about how Linux works (cause yes, Mac is based on Linux originally) it ran really great for what I needed. Firefox was at least 10 times faster than under Windows, Photoshop could do two pictures at a time faster than Vista could do with one picture. I never had any slow downs whatever the amount of softwares that were running in the background, while in Vista if I had to open FireFox I had to lose some horsepower. So, between a perfect and clean Vista installation and a 1-week-old Mac OS X installation with tons of driver reinstaling and messing, the OSX won it quite easily. Even more surprising, the Vista was using the 160Gb HDD all for itself, while OSX was installed on my USB HDD, a 2.5" 160Gb, and we all know the USB drives are slower than SATA ones.

I still don't like 'em.
