Everyone took this "Apple macbooks are competitive at the launch of the product cycle" statement as a fact. I don't think its true at all. I have never seen a mac with same features priced closely to a brand name laptop.

So Tom says PC costs as much as mac....sure...I do not wish to argue anymore...not because I think you are right as I know you are not. But because I have to go play Silent Hill...

You are making the assertion that Macs ALWAYS cost much more than PCs. Therefore ANY counterexample proving that Macs are sometimes competitively priced proves you wrong.

The Tom's Hardware article provides such a counterexample and proved you wrong, and instead of admitting it, or at least trying to reframe your position, you basically stuck your fingers in your ears and said "na na na I'm not listening, I'm bored so I'm not going to argue anymore but I'm right and you proved nothing".

Bitmap Frogs owned you and you ran like a pussy. Why am I not surprised?

Also, I wasn't speaking from the aspect of the hardcore at all...you just got that out of thin air to support your argument.

As for the "hardcore" statement I have made, it was basically an analogy that I came up with based on the fact that you talk about Apple users like this:
"Macs are not for people that care about computers at ALL! Most people that I know who use macs don't even want to hear about computers...then need Apples life support to install programs and they like the fact macs have no fiddling hardware wise."

It sounds an awful lot like "WiisMacs are for casual users who aren't REAL gamerscomputer enthusiasts. If you want a REAL gamingcomputing experience, you should be using a PS3/360PC."

So yes, I just came up with that analogy. No, it's not a provable fact; analogies are comparisons of one situation and another, and opinions will vary on how well I did.

Normal people like myself I am speaking for...who buy a laptop every 3 years. People like me go from deciding that they need a new laptop...to buying a new laptop within a week.

Well, if you knew for a fact that there was going to be a huge discount sale 3 months down the road, would it kill you to wait 3 months more than 3 years? If so, and if your current laptop isn't completely fried or something, I would say that you're massively impatient and not representative of "normal" people who would care so much about the price difference that you claim is such a problem.

People who decide to buy a new PC and do so in a week do so because there is no incentive, having decided to get a new computer, to wait. That doesn't mean that waiting, if there is an incentive, would be any real hardship.
