Default For the Mac elitists

It isn't because your gear is so much better, it's because no one gives enough of a damn to exploit them.

yeah, we are just starting to see Mac bugs and flaws because there is actually enough of them out there for people to start giving a damn.

As I posted earlier, I've seen more PC elitism on discussion boards, rather than Mac elitism.

Macs are so much nicer. I just had an argument with a guy on another board about this like 3 days ago. He tried comparing the lowest mac to the lowest HP laptop as an argument though.

Macs would be better if they allowed more flexibility to their system and making upgrading the system easier and more affordable. Things like not having access to batteries and such is ridiculous.

They aren't really that nice dollar for dollar.

I agree it would be nice to have them be easily upgradable. Dollar for dollar, if you build a toshiba to hp laptop to the exact specs of the Mac, they wont be too far off.
