I like my Macs, but my Thinkpad is killer for business applications. I doubt Apple will be more than a solid, steady player in that market. They'll make money on every one they sell. My next PowerBook will be the 12" just to keep the weight down when I travel.
What can you do on your ThinkPad, that my 17' G4 PB cannot do? Is it faster? Do you have more than 1g Ram? How fast does it run Photoshop, or Final Cut? How long does it take to reformat a table in MS Office? Have you even used a PowerBook?
Oh, I know. It plays SOME video games better... not bizness apps...
"I like my Macs, but my Thinkpad is killer for business applications."
I can relate - I do insurance/financial planning - I have Macs all over the house and a Ti 667 PB. My ThinkPad is what runs my Ins and FP software and goes with me to clients.
And I could probably get by with VPC but support for it sucks and I let it go several years ago and got the ThinkPad -
As someone said a while back - there are 3 types of laptops. Apple, IBM and all the rest.
