It was a nice way of me saying that if you are prefer to use a keyboard, Macs are inferior. If you are a point-and-click person, they are better. They also crash less. The end.

Oh there is certainly demand. It is a marsupialed product. Kind of how Hanson was marsupialed as a musical artist, and the snuggie is marsupialed as a warming mechanism.

marsupialed and popular are not correlated.

Listen chachi, I'm not sure about your popularity but you're pretty marsupialed.

I'm only buying another one so that I have something for when I travel. But I think that if you tend to use the computer in the same location most of the time, you get a better deal going with a good desktop.


I quite agree. I am a developer and work on multiple applications at the same time, have a beast desktop with a monitors wall (3 x 21" lcd monitors).

It's impossible to work as developer or graphic developer with a only a laptop.
I use laptop for travels or when working on simple tasks.

For us geeks power desktops ruled, rule and will ever rule.
