[QUOTE="Makari"] Unless you're also arguing that Thinkpads are overpriced, then take that up with Adrian_Werner and come back when you're done.Jamisonia
I don't mind paying extra for built quality and amazing classy look of thinkpad, I would guess Macbook fans similiarly have no problem with paying for built quality and flashy clean look either.With deskops it might be a different tale, but for laptops specs aren't the most important thing imo
I use a ThinkPad, and for that premium price you get a lot more, more than you do with Macs, and the premium isn't anywhere as high as the Mac premium. There are things like the thinkvantage programs, the drain holes under the keyboard, the hard drive's roll cage, the Ultranav system, fingerprint readers, I noticed a few years ago that Mac people were bragging about the gryoscope they had in Macbooks to protect the hard drive, like it was some new thing Macs started, even though IBM invented that and put them in ThinkPads first.
Insofar as the Macbook Air goes, its a rip off plain and simple. They gutted that thing. I would suggest getting an IdeaPad or some other netbook, or getting the ThinkPad X300.

Guess what i'm back and i've heard quite enough of your Thinkpad rant, Thinkpad's have to be the worst Laptop's on the market, out of PC's or MAC's, i've used them and not only are they built like crap but there not even worthy to be mentioned in the same breath or sentence as a Macbook. PC commercials and PC fans here always forget to mention the most important thing, the operating system and the reliability of that operating system and Windows continues to be the most hacked, bug ridden, virus getting OS on the market and that alone is worth replacing it for a MAC.
