I was only making the best comparison>>>>>>>>

Yeah but it was not the best or only comparison. You Apple guys simply won’t admit that someone can buy a lesser computer (with same 11.6” screen size here) and be happy with what it does. Sorry for my tone in the first reply to you

Thus some can buy a 11.6” Dell Inspiron and very happy with that purchase at 40% the Apple price for an 11.6” laptop. Thus to repeat....Apple is very often in the overkill business.

It’s just snobbism and one upmanship......often is that way

I think you’re confused. I certainly admit “that someone can buy a lesser computer (with same 11.6” screen size here) and be happy with what it does”. If it’s sufficient, that’s great. Just don’t forget it’s “lesser”.

Two things that aren’t being mentioned are X and the iLife suite. That’s a ton of added value in software alone.

Most of those people who claim that they can get a “comparable” computer to a Mac for less have never used a recent Apple product for any period of time.

Those of us who use both regularly know the truth.
