all i hear and read is wait.

Whatever happened to just getting what you want, when you want? Take a risk. Be a man (or a liberated woman), get a spine, grab your Visa/MasterCard/etc. and splurge.

core 2 duo macbooks just around the corner? yippie. who cares? waiting for the latest, greatest thing usually ends in disappointment. You'll probably end up... once again... waiting for less buggy, better built, later generations of these products, and then when you're ready to make your purchase, you'll make another thread like this, and someone else will come along and say "INTEL CORE 89349879087 TRIO SHOULD BE COMING AROUND NEXT MONTH!!! Hold on to your money!!!"

Who knows. Maybe holding on to your money is the best decision right now. I had thought about it myself when I was first considering buying my macbook pro. But I got tired of waiting, tired of thinking that I would regret my decision when the new macbook pros came out 2 days later. Did I say I got tired of waiting? Screw it. I just went for it and couldnt be happier.

Ok in all seriousness, dont jump off the cliff just yet. I didnt really read through this whole thread so I dont know what your specific situation is. If its really not an emergecy then there's no reason for you to buy a new computer right now (PC or Mac). If you need a computer ASAP and it cant wait much longer then I say go with the mac.

Talk about redundant, and bi-polar.

They cost less than MacBook Pro's do, and you get better specs. (ie Core 2 Duo instead of Core Duo)

yeah err_eur is offering terrible selling points. Macs are still on the pricey side, but what they offer is stability.

I think it was pasha who did a poll about it, which showed like 90% was problem free..

I am not pushing PC or Mac.

I am merely trying to be accurate with the facts, so that our friend can make an informed decision.

I said 90% based on the poll, and everybody I know including myself has absolo=utely zero problems with them..I'm not saying thay are problem free, but that they are not the crash and burn machine it is sometimes turned into

polls voted by mac users are unfair, don't you know?

The Apple fanboy bible provides what steps to take when Apple problems come up;

1. Claim it's false.
2. Cry that there is no proof.
3. Blame someone else.
4. Misdirect by providing false accusations
5. Redirect negative claims to other popular demons
6. Claim that all products have this problem
7. Talk about innovation
8. Start again with step one.

I dont see the redundancy. And frankly... frankie... i dont care if i was redundant, redundant, redundant. OK frankie? Frankly, i dont care.

And the bi-polarity thing... meh. I just told the guy to get a spine and just buy a 'puter now without fearing the obsolesence factor, kind of jokingly of course. I'm not one to egg on other people to do something they're not ready or willing to do. So then I said

in all seriousness

which could stand for "all jokes aside" or whatever, that it might be a good idea to wait IF getting a new computer right now is not an emergency.

I dont even know why I need to explain myself really. You signed up on this board what? a week before I did? And already trolling? LOL how precocious.
