| Kevyn Ok, so I'll bite... Compare this to say, a Sony Vaio 505, which is roughly 3" narrower, and costs $800 less, and includes a port replicator which will give you all those other ports you could want. So I'll ask the obvious stupid question, why is you continue to compare Apple's success based off older machines? No one cares if the G4 PB is better than the machine that precceded it, they care if the machine is better than a comparable system from someone else at the same price. What features do you get on a 3.5K notebook from Sony? From Dell? From IBM? When you break it down, Apple isn't innovating... just merely evolving a current product line, and claiming innovation. In the meantime you pay a price premium for "state of the art" hardware, which doesn't even have the capability to have an internal CD-RW, yet every IBM noteobok in that pricerange has a media bay, and a docking capability. When Apple decides that it wants to build machines that are designed with function, over form, then I'll spend my money on a new one. But I'm afraid my 1999 G3PB, will be the last one I buy, for a very long time. Kevyn ex-apple employee |
