Macbooks make EXCELLENT network management laptops as well. I work in one of the world's largest datacenters, and most of us use MBPs there (with a few people using Linux exclusively). Desipte the fact that Apple's support staff are also a bunch of, well, c**ks.
yeah, constant "3rd party" crashes aka non-apple software, like the adobe suite and adium as a replacement for the BSOD is alot better. Especially for a designer. I don't even think vista has a BSOD? does it? I've never seen it if it does. In fact i've only had 1 hard crash. The 3 months i worked last on a mac, i saw 3 hard crashes in one day. (check hardware, its fine, format, reinstall os, reinstall programs, still doesn't 'just work') ITS SO f**kING DEMORALIZING working on a mac.
The fact that Apple is the only outlet to gets a Mac makes their third in the industry rating unimpressive.Let me try to explain this in a way you might understand.Lets say you own a company that makes windshield wipers, but your wipers only fit Ford's and yours are the only ones that fit Ford, thus leaving Ford owners with no other outlet to get wipers.You still with me?Now Ford has a much lower market share than lets say Honda, but you have 100 different wiper manufacturers for Honda.Still here?Now lets throw out some numbers here, lets say for ease of math there are 1000 people driving Honda's and 100 driving Fords.Now even though you have small market share, you sales compared to your competitors will be higher because when anyone of those 100 Ford drivers want wipers they are forced to buy from you, while the 1000 Honda drivers have 100 choices of wipers.So you see even with their small market share, the entire 10% they have MUST buy from Apple, so of course their number of sales compared to the 100's of PC manufacturers will be high, in fact they must really be doing something wrong if they aren't number 1.Apparently you confusing sales with amount of stores, when in fact they have nothing in common, most Computer sales (PC and Mac) are done online.
Right, I said the mark may be coming. I didn't say it was here. Maybe we can consult Nostradamus to see when it may happen.Also, 1 bank collapse, but many more at risk of it. A collapse doesn't happen in 1 day. It takes months or years.
I found a company that I just insured my 3G iPhone, my iPod touch and my wifes BlackBerry through. The service was absolutely top-notch!! Www.iphonereplacementservices.net is the address. I heard it on the radio in Michigan and I emailed them at customerservice@digitalcaboodle.com and they answered me back in less then 8 minutes! 8 MINUTES! I have never seen anything like this site! Pass the word, someone really cares and we know its not At&t or Apple. Get your stuff covered!! Great people to work with and the website was the real deal!!
Then buy a quality computer for 800 with a quad core, 4gb of ram and an 8800GT which will outlast the mac mini not only in durability but usefulness. A mac mini is an extremely slow computer and won't last 2 years. The quad core for the same price will still be able to use all the new applications.
I'm very happy with Apple and OS X. I was rarely happy with Windoze. If it wasn't for Apple, window users would still be running Windows 3.99 or Microsoft Bob.
