You could at least TRY not to sound like a mindless Apple drone or corporate plant. You aren't fooling anyone.

I get what you're saying, really.

However, businesses are getting much more shady. That's not good, no matter what way you flip it. If Apple continue putting methods in place which force you to even purchase a new, or pay to get something fixed, which you may be able to do yourself.

You begin to wonder.

@ngecenk - I have my Dell for about 3 years now and NOTHING has ever gone wrong with it... I also had an IBM from the days running 7 years strong but the PSU went bad because of a power surge.

Exactly, but some of the commenters just hate the device outright - and you can see the hate in their comments. They don't have any other reason than the price tag. People, understand that Apple sells this as a premium machine.

How are the Ultrabook prices comparing to the Mac Air? When windows and Apple got to the same platform you can see the prices merging to the same level.

I would be happy with any device that offers the ease of use of the Mac OS, a big smooth track/touch pad, and capability of up to 5 finger gestures.

When work gets hectic, the ability to call upon and swap different windows, widgets and sources with just a swipe makes work literally move like a breeze. That, and the only one freeze in my 2008 mbp in the last 4 years is what keeps me on the mac.

On the other hand, my windows machine has had to go through one format, and 3 OS re-installs in the same time frame (4yrs), i'm not counting the BSODs and freezes. I am fed up with restoring.
