Agreed, just today i used an iBook G4 in science, in which we also use iMac G4 desktops. In my graphics design classes, we use 17'' Core Duo iMacs and Tower g4's and there are a couple of g3 towers, eMacs, and intel mac minis in the media center. Macs are becoming commonplace. I see them more then i see Dells.

#14-I like how you guys all think that Apple has some super technology that Microsoft cannot out do. If only you would stop screaming when they put software on their OS. Nobody cares about little insignificant Apple so they can put all the extra software on it no qualms.

Apple can safely dual boot OSX Tiger and every other OS microsoft has put out there . Can your PC do that?
MacBook Pros can run WinXP faster than most of the damn laptops currently on the market. Can your "pre MBP era" laptop do that?

I don't see why Apple's entry-level MacBook is being viewed at as a gaming machine, making this Joystiq post quite pointless. It's like comparing a Lexus to a Toyota. Sure, in some cases, both the cars run on similar platforms, but it's all about quality, which Apple does best (hence, the hefty price tag). Toyota Supras were kings of the road, WOT'd daily, with an average-quality build (interior-wise). Lexus' are prestigious vehicles meant to get a person from point A to B with luxurious amenities. Bottom line, Macs and PCs both have their ups and downs. There's a reason why Macs are so expensive. Say it with me: Build Quality (20'' Alum ACD vs 20'' Dell line, for example). Macs are used for productivity. PCs are used for "A to B" tasks. (including gaming, etc)
