New MacBooks have just been released today. If you're holding off due to OS X Lion, you can purchase now, and then once it's released, you'll receive a free upgrade.
Tlarkin always use to argue that here in the laptop section when someone would say I want to buy a Mac and a huge argument started as always about it so I would assume he is talking about the laptops being ips, since the person was inquiring about mac books and it is under this section.

Either way Apple should have brought 1080p to there itunes a long time ago, Zune has had 1080p videos for a long while now and it is even better for us xbox owners being zune works on there too so no need to hook up a laptop.
Either way for the price you cannot beat a PC in performance and Windows is no where near as bad as the Vista days. Plus if you want something new looking, more secure and tones of free software I always say look into Linux then being Ubuntu works with 99% of mobile devices and has a open source app to replace the Window or Apple app you were using, maybe not as nice but gets the job done and is free.
Plus with sites like System76, Linuxcertified and the limited Dell selection there is no excuse of well I don't want to install it myself.
Well then he was either wrong or referring to the iMacs. None of the Macbook's have IPS screens, period. If you can prove me wrong I will eat my toenail clipping and post the vid on youtube
I would take Android before iOS. Just don't care for the iphone, ipad or itouch very much.
Android products are cheaper, can do as much and runs on every OS including Ubuntu or other Linux flavors using rythmbox or Banshee. Plus they are self sufficient, not needing something like itunes. All Android products do not require a PC for setup or adding items too.
Lol, we geeks don't take restrictions. We want our file control and we want it NOW.I agree. Who's heard of a smart phone that can't download and save a file off the internet? Doesn't sound too smart to me.

I guess I'm a bit biased. I actually use my droid for everything but phone calls. I don't even have it activated on verizon: I just use wifi. I put together a whole google voice workaround that gives me unlimited free calls and free texts (in a wifi zone), but it still has no plan. I use it as a really awesome handheld computer, which allows me to play flash games. For one of those games, it helps to overclock. I guess I'm a bit of an odd scenario, though.edit: and really?!? it's a phone. what are phones for? phone calls. Being a smart phone just means that you have a variety of ways to communicate with others, whether it be text, email, web, facebook, skype, or what have you. Why do you think it voids the warranty to do certain things on an android? Cause even google doesn't want you messing with things that have no business being messed with. For what god forsaken reason do you need to overclock a phone??
Until I looked just now I always thought your user name was speedylink. Haha.
regardless, I can't figure out why the lot of you are so against apple. I admit, they aren't quite my taste, but for the vast majority that use their products, you hear nothing but good things. The phones and the computers alike, people love them. And yeah there are fan boys who swear by the brand, but I convince people every day to switch to apple, and so many of them come back to me and thank me telling me they absolutely love their computer. Once again, I own no apple product of my own. But that doesn't mean I wouldn't be willing to pay extra for the stability of the OS all its own. Yeah, you can use work arounds to get it on a regular PC, but it's designed to work with the parts apple uses. And it all the more proves that the OS is something people want that there are work arounds for it at all. anyway, one or more of you will have something to say about it more.
But, just so you know, while this a decent size community of people who are rather tech savvy. there are hundreds of thousands of people in the world who aren't going to look at a mac and say "you can get the same thing on a pc/ you can do the same thing on a pc". They are just going to see a computer that works and works well.
