Regular consumer my dick. I had to run 15 different offices all using every piece of hardware you can think of, operating things you don't even know the name while also doing tons of server side scripting.You need to read the last post I made on the first page and then stop, sit back, and use your brain for a minute. It can do everything a windows machine can ++++++++. This is the point. From hardware, to software, to support, to experience.

If you actually read what I wrote instead of just imagining me saying "OMG BUT MACS ARE PRETTY" in 72 font in every post, maybe you would see that I'm responding DIRECTLY to the claims people are making about usability of windows on a mac.

OP -"so I need a new laptop for school, which next week. I don't really ever play games, I mostly use the internets so my primary concern is resolution, battery life and memory are next"

But I'M the one not listening to his specific concerns right? Or maybe he just scripts in C using autocad and needs dual quad core processors and isn't telling us. There are people on this forum, with macs, who clearly work everyday with professional tools advocating for macs but then we're all just probably fanboys.

And for the record I haven't gamed in years. Fucking troll.

Bic - Do yourself a favor and go on ask.metafilter.com and search "buying laptop." Metafilter requires $5 to join and has crazy good troll moderation. You'll find some very solid advice.

i at no point during the previous post did refer to mac other than in the context of its operating system. maybe if you'd bother reading in the first place (also reading the op, as bic nicely pointed out), we would not have to discuss this. i've given plenty good reasons for why OS X is inferior, and i could give plenty more (you mentioned usability - OS X usability is made for toddlers). also, you really have an opinion so biased it's not worth listening to at this time.

and don't bother giving me the bullshit with random office hardware/software unless you mention specifics. while you're at it, you might as well tell me what your occupation is and whether or not you have graduated from anything related to computer science.

bic: sorry for ruining this, i hope you at least took the advice and went to notebookreview's forums. they really have an excellent helpdesk there.
