Neither did I, but the 15" is just the right size for me now.

It's sexy and thin.. so it's perfect :p

Sounds like you need IBM ;)

Forget all this shiny brittle designer crap, you want a big solid lump of black plastic!

I have no idea what the intended meaning of that sentence was!

Dell have been making laptops that light ciggys better than they do spreadsheets.

Ahh....I understand now. I think that's the first time I've read a sentence on here that I've not been able to decipher! Maybe it's just late!

"But if you're short of a lighter, then a Dell laptop is ideal."

I get the joke now! :eek:

Thats what you get for getting it in Black. White or Ali is clearly the way forward ;)

Yeah, but these people won't be able to update their systems automatically.

Yet further proof that anything with an apple logo on it underperforms and will break.

I use one almost every working day, but not much. Nice to look at, but I prefer PCs.

I like to be able to mess around with my computers and upgrade them easily, with the parts I want, not with the parts Apple says I can (not that it's easy to get to the parts on a few macs). I also don't like to pay over the odds for things, which aren't much better than their counterparts. To me it seems Mac users update their systems buy buying expensive new ones. My systems evolve over time, a new part here, a new part there at a relatively low cost (I do accept their prices are coming down, however). Also my PCs rarely crash, hell I'd say the Mac users in the office restart more than me.

Hey ho.

They're just bitter that they have to use Windows or "insert your favourite flavour of posix here".

Its only since they started using "pc" components that things start to go wrong.
I still have a colour classic (1995) works perfectly.

Oh yeah im bitter, i bought a centrino laptop last year and the bloody things never missed a beat - what i should have done was pay a few hundred quid more for a crapbook with a smaller screen, a slower processsor which would now not work as it'd died with the rest of it.

Oh yeah real bitter. I like self destructing hardware.

Funny, I remember OS8 being a bag o' shite. Now that thing crashed... a lot. The guys at that place would restart 4 or 5 times a day, yet the NT4 network I ran (albeit, a small crappy one, as it wasn't really my thing) never failed in the 9 months after I set it up.

Anyways, it's a pointless argument, each to their own. Who wants a kiss?
