I am on my 3rd MAC at the office in less than 5 years. Safari stinks, Entourage not better, NEOOffice is awful, ICal doesn't talk with other MAC software. My database kept reporting damage and after rebuilding it 6 times in one day, guess what, I got a new MAC. .ODT does not open .doc or .docx files correctly or in the same format. I sat with the folks at the Apple store with a list of 30 problems and they could not tell me how do do what I use to do on my PC. They visited the office to see our set up but I think that was just "let's see what your doing" and then nothing. I am currently working on another list of problems and I'm on number 24. Check this out. http://theflashblog.com/?p=1888 Apple Slaps Developers In The Face. Another problem. .pdf's another problem. We had to load update 5 times. It taked me double and triple the time to do my work and its getting tiresome.
Same here (Asus) - just got home a few hours ago! I couldn’t believe how easy it was to set up! Great price, nice hardware, Windows 7 just worked. Good luck with yours!!!
Uh, what isn’t built in Red China? Apple builds its computers in Red China. So does everyone else. We don’t make anything in America anymore. But that is another discussion entirely.
Just plugged it in and immediately came to FR! I just have to figure out how to minimize the task bar at the bottom. Between that and the menu bar, there’s not a lot of room in between! And I got rid of everything on the menu bar. Oy.
The only laptop I recall seeing recently without a “made in China” label on it are Fujitsu Lifebooks which are still made in Japan.
