MacBooks, and now the iPad, are just pointless.

Just an FYI. The Macbook Pro 17" I have, I got almost 4 years ago. I got it to run Windows. The reason I bought it:

• it's mettle
• it's 1 inch thick
• It runs 4 hours on battery
• It has a 1680x1050 screen
• It has a backlight keyboard
• It has a webcam
• It has a 256Meg video card
• it was rated the fastest Windows laptop on the market by PC Magazine.

Name a laptop 4 years ago that even comes close to this thing. From someone who looked at everything on the market, I can tell you one did not exist.

A product like that 4 years ago... Must have cost over 2.5k...
