Really? Is this what passes for intuitive in the PC world these days? I found the UI to be incredibly counter intuitive, and I was forced to use a custom control multiple times when a simple, very obvious, drag gesture would have made a lot more sense. Call me an Apple fanboy, but the PC world still really doesn't get intuitive UI's yet.]]>Apr 30th 2009 1:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/30/dell-design-studio-blows-it-out-with-more-than-120-new-options/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/30/dell-design-studio-blows-it-out-with-more-than-120-new-options/Apr 30th 2009 1:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/30/dell-design-studio-blows-it-out-with-more-than-120-new-options/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/30/dell-design-studio-blows-it-out-with-more-than-120-new-options/Apr 30th 2009 11:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/30/dell-design-studio-blows-it-out-with-more-than-120-new-options/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/30/dell-design-studio-blows-it-out-with-more-than-120-new-options/Apr 30th 2009 12:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/30/dell-design-studio-blows-it-out-with-more-than-120-new-options/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/30/dell-design-studio-blows-it-out-with-more-than-120-new-options/Apr 30th 2009 1:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/30/dell-design-studio-blows-it-out-with-more-than-120-new-options/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/30/dell-design-studio-blows-it-out-with-more-than-120-new-options/

Dude that $85 is still a choice. You're not forced to buy it. You're getting upset only because they included it as an option?

I know of a company whose has only two models of laptops to sell, all preconfigured and no you can't remove a feature so that you could pay less.

So your $85 appreciates in value? I 100% garantee your computer will be worth (less than)1/2 as much in 2 years. I love that you are comparing your computer to an original. You pretty much got a Gicleé on canvas. at this point you must be thinking, "Oh crap - this guy knows about art?? I am the one who doesn't?" I love your slippery slope. Because i make a comment about a black macbook :: I suddenly know nothing about art. What a tool! anyways, you're ignorant and your arguments are full of holes and poor comparisons. Way to buy a "print"! get the original and then we can talk about art.

I was just making a joke, but it was lost on your...

I wasn't saying nobody EVER watches movies on their laptops. My point is the vast majority of people who actually watch DVDs on their laptops (while travelling, for example) are probably OK with a regular DVD (or a digital copy better yet - less battery drain) and are not likely to carry around their Blu-ray collection. Blu-ray licensing is not free and blu-ray drives are in fact more expensive than regular, so based on overall consumer behavior, Apple figures it's not necessary to include it right now.

Since all PCs offer the same Windows software, manufacturers need to find "new and exciting" ways to differentiate themselves from the competition. Blu-ray is the newest way to do that. Apple feels confident they do enough to differentiate themselves from the rest of the computer market, so they don't feel the need to adopt Blu-ray right now. What's so wrong with that?]]>Apr 30th 2009 1:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/30/dell-design-studio-blows-it-out-with-more-than-120-new-options/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/30/dell-design-studio-blows-it-out-with-more-than-120-new-options/
For a company that totes its displays as being the best and focusing on a rich multimedia experience it sure is slow at adopting current generation discs. Whats with the lack of HDMI and DVI? Nobody has anything with DisplayPort!

If you're going to differentiate your company from others by ignoring standards and inventing your own then you're not a very good company. Blu-Ray isn't differentiating from one another since EVERYONE is adopting it. The differentiating differences in PC laptop manufacturers is design, battery life, build quality, budget, and size. The differentiating factor for Apple? Mob Mentality and me-too-ism.]]>Apr 30th 2009 2:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/30/dell-design-studio-blows-it-out-with-more-than-120-new-options/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/30/dell-design-studio-blows-it-out-with-more-than-120-new-options/
Me-too-ism? Apple is light years ahead on innovation. You probably bitched and mocked the Macbook Air since it lacked an optical drive and didn't have a removable battery. Wait, uh-oh! Here comes Dell Adamo with the same shit. I could go on and on. Microsoft is the biggest me-too shithole ever created. OEMs are just as bad, and you know it. ]]>Apr 30th 2009 3:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/30/dell-design-studio-blows-it-out-with-more-than-120-new-options/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/30/dell-design-studio-blows-it-out-with-more-than-120-new-options/
Also Mob Mentality does apply here, its not just Apple computers but Apple products as a whole. Whether or not you like to admit it but the dumber (majority) of the Apple userbase are incredibly vain. Yes they make nice products but that doesn't mean anything if you're paying too much for it just because its keeping up with the proverbial Jones'. Also you can apply signal to noise ratio here, how many Windows users sound off about their product they just bought? To them its just a product. Apple users however are a small market share yet are one the loudest populations on the internet. To them its a ticket to a super elitist group. Me-too-ism does apply you just don't wish to see it.

Apple isn't lightyears ahead when they're using the same technology everyone else has which goes back to OEMs. Enjoy your Foxconn parts just like every other OEM.

Also before you tell me I don't know anything I do own Apple products and I do enjoy them however I'm not going to sit there in a collective clusterfuck and try to make myself and my peers feel awesome for the products we buy.]]>Apr 30th 2009 4:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/30/dell-design-studio-blows-it-out-with-more-than-120-new-options/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/30/dell-design-studio-blows-it-out-with-more-than-120-new-options/Apr 30th 2009 1:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/30/dell-design-studio-blows-it-out-with-more-than-120-new-options/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/30/dell-design-studio-blows-it-out-with-more-than-120-new-options/http://customization-cdn.dell.com/customization/images/beauty/131x131/2910.jpg]]>Apr 30th 2009 1:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/30/dell-design-studio-blows-it-out-with-more-than-120-new-options/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/30/dell-design-studio-blows-it-out-with-more-than-120-new-options/Apr 30th 2009 2:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/30/dell-design-studio-blows-it-out-with-more-than-120-new-options/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/30/dell-design-studio-blows-it-out-with-more-than-120-new-options/
