    Over rated, SLOW, not that great lap top if you ask me. In fact OCZ had to slow it’s SSD’s down JUST FOR APPLE computers because Macs could NOT handle the fast SSD’s. So SSD’s on macs runs slower than on PC’s. Don’t believe me? Google “OCZ had to slow down its SSDs because Mac OSX can’t handle the speed ”

    This only proves that people no longer buy computers because of what makes sense, what is faster etc. They buy it out of some touchy feeling they have when they see their friends with white laptops featuring 1/2 eaten pieces of fruit.

    Apple is a FAD, and today’s youth are the hippies of the future. IDIOTS basically. To anyone who disagrees. Why would anyone pay extra money for a laptop that was slower than many other choices, and is compatible with less software? The only reason is they pick it because they like what they see. But then how many people out there understand computers? 99% don’t. So in terms of herding stupid sheep, I guess Apple wins. whatever. While some 15 to 27 year old fools are waiting for a painfully slow macbook air to finish rendering their youtube video project, I will be sitting on a fast i7 based PC at 4ghz that cost $730. Have fun suckers.

    Also I love windows 7. It never crashes, or has problems. So before stating that was reason, think again..
