Maybe you should shut up. Who the hell wants to carry around something heavy when there are other options? If this is the only computer that has the necessary power, well, then that's fine. I remember laptops when they came in enclosures like suitcases and weighed a lot - perhaps you'd be happy with something like that.

Nov 11th 2009 4:15AM With all due respect, if gaming is your thing then you should never consider a Mac. Gaming isn't my thing which is why I use a Mac. Windows just angers me and I'm not paying good money to get annoyed.

Nov 11th 2009 4:10AM A business executive wouldn't buy something like this because it is simply too big and heavy for day-to-day travel. These days, 13" models seem to be pretty popular since they get the job done and don't take up much space. Besides, this hardly screams "business", does it? Rather, this screams "I'm bunking off and playing video games", which isn't the message you want to communicate.

Nov 11th 2009 3:57AM To be honest, this probably is better than a current MBP and it is something that I'd consider if I was interesting in going back to Windows (that's not going to happen, incidentally). But you have to consider why Apple doesn't have an i7 processor in the current MBP models. The reason is that they are currently too hot to fit inside the machine. Hang around until next year when Intel produces i7 processors to go in thin-n-light computers.
One thing that I will note is that you should never buy based on specifications alone. For example, I have a 3-year old MBP that runs rings around a new Dell Latitude that, on paper, has better specifications than the Mac. The best thing to do is to get hands-on with what you are thinking of buying and see if it lives up to your expectations.

With all due respect, you're not the quickest of cats, are you? Let's try and put this in simple terms:
* The Windows experience is controlled by Microsoft and whoever manufactured your computer; Microsoft has little control over what the manufacturer does.
* The Mac experience is controlled by Apple and only Apple.
Whether you like Apple or the Mac at all is rather immaterial at this point (I'm going to go out on a limb at this point and say that you don't like it). The important point is that a Mac doesn't come with crapware installed on it because Apple doesn't allow it. In contrast, Microsoft can't control the rubbish that is installed on a new Windows PC. This is the ailment of Windows - you are beholden to the manufacturer and whoever they have signed contracts with unless you particularly enjoy reformatting your computer.
Occasionally, people make a good point that doesn't agree with what you think. Just accept this and learn from it.

Look, I'm pro-Mac and even I'm down ranking you for being a prat. No one is going to be looking at your PC in public and thinking less of you for having an HP. It's a relatively low probability that anyone looking at said HP knows what a Mac is, let alone considers it to be better. Frankly, no one gives a flying fuck about this STUPID discussion outside of the likes of Engadget.

Man, I haven't heard anyone say that since Red Dwarf. Smeghead....

Nov 10th 2009 7:05AM Yes, let's all get excited by another also-ran. Next week we can get excited about something else. For crying out loud, it's just a ruddy smartphone. Get a grip.
The final advertisement also displays a total inability to understand the market. Mind you, I don't expect much else from an American advertising agency...
