God dammit. I'm getting a laptop for college shortly and i want an i5. The i3 is too underpowered and the i7 is too expensive and too much of a power drain. I've been waiting out to *save* money. I don't want to be paying more now.
Fucking Macbooks. Blame it on Apple. It's *always* their fault. They ruin everything, lol. Seriously though, it's ironic that the shortage is related to them putting the new Macbook Pro line, and I'm *hardly* a Macbook fan.
The whole use of asterisks to overemphasis words, the "lol", me starting the next sentence with "seriously though", and the general ridiculousness of me accusing Apple of causing a CPU shortage because they wanted to update their laptop line (which doesn't sell all that well in the large scheme of things) didn't tip off the fact that I was joking?
Really though, I was just being an ass. I don't seriously blame them for the shortage, especially given how they *just* started selling Pros with 2010 Cores and how the regular Macbook and Pro 13" line, the cheapest and probably most popular of the bunch don't even have 2010 Cores in them.
@kenny goo - You said (claimed?) to be just starting college this coming year (I would assume) - comparing your writing and grammar choices to those of my classmates, all of whom will be beginning college next school year, it didn't seem all that odd. So no, I really didn't think you were being sarcastic.
Now that I know you are, I give you props for the comment. Apple can always use a good sarcastic comment.
You insulting my grammar or insulting my use of sarcasm? I tend to write how I speak when I comment here. I'm a pretty accomplished English student, but I save it for the classroom. I hardly find the need to do anything but that in a forum like this.
And Apple could use a good sarcastic comment? What in the world do you mean by that? I'm upset at the possibility that the supply or the pricing of laptops might be negatively affected by this, and Apple was a humorous and coincidental target for my sarcastic frustration. I'm not doing Q&A for them over here.

@kenny goo - Why are you trying to blame Apple for this? They're LATE to the i5/i7 game. And their newest 13" MBP doesn't even use one of these CPUs.
There are always shortages when new CPUs launch, this one is just coming a little late in th cycle (given that these chips were launched in Jan).
@kenny goo I'm in the same boat and if this delays the acer timelinex series I might just get a sony z
