[citation][nom]TomsGuideRachel[/nom]Would be great to know your opinions about which features are especially overpriced here. Or, for you to show me another laptop with same features (or at least close) for a lot less money. That would really contribute a lot to this discussion and be much appreciated.[/citation]1st reason, keyboard it might be great but still it`s only a keyboard (plastic/rubber) made me laugh the part with black keys white letter to better see during day ... like wtf ? you can`t see black letters during the day ? back lit keys are already on market nothing out of the ordinary
2nd. Unibody, nice touch i like it but still don`t think it`s worth that much cash, crash resistant ... well i could write a story here but let`s just say i like to be carefoul enough to keep my stuff safe first and not hope the enclosure that the company said is durable
3rd. Light weight ... well let`s just say i`m not a digital counter to realy feel that 0.36 lbs difference
and besides it`s good for your condition .. what you wanna be a person that will be only able to lift a glass of water ? everything above that will be too heavy ? This point defenetly not worth the cash.
4th. power cord ... cheap gimic .. nothing hight tech and expensive here.
5th. Led backlit LCD .. well competition is doing too, it`s a new tech and soon all laptops will have it still i`m having no problem staring my eye balls to a normal LCD and i`m not that light sensitive too to be annoyed by the difference in lightness over the surface of the LCD, after all even knowing about it i still look at my LCD and don`t see the darker spots.
6th. Internet protection .. well that`s OS based and why do OS`s fell first in front of the user stupidity when talking about security ? That`s the problem with people these days .. they always want something else to look for their behinds ... anyway if this is so go Linux on a PC and it`s even free .. you can actualy save some $$ instead of having PC: Vista $$ + Linux Free > Mac: Vista $$ + OS X $$ .
7th. Battery well they list 8 hours but under mediu/heavy load how much ? since idle time i don`t realy care about, this might be a point for extra cash but still way off than the difference.
8th. Customer Service .. well at ~3k $ they at least should give you 2 free keys as a replacement to your laptop
9th. Recicle ...
10th. Ability to run other OSes ... well breaking news PCs do that too
all in all is to be able to use Mac OS (wich personaly i don`t even want to)? to be above the normal guy or what ?
BTW loved the comment this article was written on my Mac... this ... this is realy amazing Macs can write articles better than PCs ...
All in all is an overpriced PC that does the same as other PCs with fancy accesories ... just like takeing a normal blonde and give her extra cash to make herserlf bigger boobs a nose job and in the end does the same as the cheaper blonde model
Pleased now ?
