So my other half is in the market for a new laptop. She asked me what she said get. I said “a Mac Book Pro”. She said “A Mac? They’re like, rubbish!” (well something like that anyway). I said “no they’re not”. Anyway she was thinking about buying a Vaio, until someone came into her office the other day and said they’d “wished they’d bought a Mac Book Pro instead cos the Vaio kept crashing”, which made her re-think. So as she obviously doesn’t believe a bloody word I say, I wondered if you’d help me gang up on her and leave a comment her explaining why a Mac Book Pro is better than a Vaio. Mean I know, but if she wont believe me…
AppleInsider | Unofficial Mac tablet draws record crowd at Macworld (high-res photos)
“Axiotron, Inc., together with distribution partner Other World Computing, is drawing huge crowds at the Macworld Expo in San Francisco this week, as attendees flock to take its new Mac OS X-based “ModBook” tablet computer for a test run.”
Breasts really are honestly better for you than Apple Inc branded products. Trust me, I’m a doctor.

So Apple have done what they have done well…. hype…. everyone has posted a fucking picture of it or wrote about it like a daft bugger (me included).
But more thoughts….
1) Doesn’t it look like a PSP with the buttons cut off?
2) Oooooh isn’t it shiny… like a PSP? But ooooh…. wont it arf get scratched after a month in your pocket and all that prodding?
3) As JG says where’s the 3G and 5mp camera with a decent lens?
4) Actually it’s just like a Treo… or iPaq…. with a grooooooooovier interface
5) No really it is just a smart phone.
6) Uh…. 4 or 8 gig…. fuck’s sake. Is that the best you can do?
7) So if you’re not going to whack a 60gb hd in it, where’s the expansion slot?
8) Actually it appears to be a bit of a shiny all in one jack off all master of none device…. uh like an iPaq of Treo… just shinier.
9) Oh… can I run a Blackberry or exchange client on it?
10) OOOh but isn’t it shiny, can I have one?
So in summary without actually having seen the bugger…. very very very nice looking ui with some nice clever haptic stuff, but actually looks just like a smart phone…. just shinier.
So my first questions are: Will Apple sell it SIM free i.e. unlocked, or will it be sold tied to a network, or will it be sold via the networks? How the hell does ‘ear recognition’ work? Is it certified to run Doom?
Apple thrashes Dell on Mac Pro pricing
So I guess as the Mac Pro isn’t exactly directed at the iPod buying ‘must own it cos it’s Apple’ mass market end of their customers, they have actually decided to price it competetively, even against Dell. Now if they would please do that with mac Book Pro’s, that would be just swell.
Apple - Mac Pro
“Meet Mac Pro. Running at speeds up to 3GHz, Mac Pro not only completes the Mac transition to Intel processors but delivers advanced performance, workstation graphics, and up to 4.9 million possible configurations.” Bugger me that looks sweet.
