upgrades are a niche market the average joe schmo does not upgrade there computer they use it then it dies they buy a new one it makes the world go round kthx?
I don't think he meant best as in fastest or most amount, probably more general like using Intel core i# cpus, and DDR3 ram, etc. I'm pretty sure most of the upgrades Apple offers are just to get more, or different, but not better. I think it's pretty funny when people compare other brand laptops to Apple and talk about how much ram and Ghz they have for half the price, but they have DDR2 ram and half as much L2 cache, well, during core 2 duo's day at least, when they had 10 different version of the same cpu.
Most likely though, I'm sure what he had in mind was when Apple first put nvidia chipsets in their laptops, and that the are still putting nvidia graphics cards even though intel wont allow them to use nvidia chipsets. Obviously he thinks nvidia is the best. Apparently he is ignoring the fact that they have mainly been using ATI graphics for desktops.
The X-Fi3 keeps with the company's commitment to audio fidelity, thanks to the apt-X codec, which supposedly offers audio quality similar to a wired connection when streaming. On that front, the device also handles FLAC files.
