Windows Laptop Hunters: Lauren buys a bitchin' laptop <$1000

Why did she want a 17" display if she can only run it at 1440x900? That's the standard resolution for 15" displays. DDR3 RAM is also a better choice for laptops, due it's reduced power consumption (1.5V vs 1.8V for DDR2), resulting in longer battery use.

Obviously, I'm a Mac fan, but I have to admit, I've always thought Apple's unwillingness to offer a larger lineup of computers, or more configurability, was a marketing failure. It's hard to argue with their success, but they would probably benefit from offering a 15" MacBook on the low end. The only 15" model is the MacBook Pro. That's pretty silly considering how many users will want the extra screen space, but not really need the extra cpu power. A wider range of drive capacities, especially on the higher end models, would be good as well.

[edit] Interesting article at Gizmodo, Krupo. Some of the comments there are even more interesting. A number of people pointed out that certain features were completely ignored, like the new unibody construction, bigger glass touchpad, Leopard vs. Vista <snicker>, better configurations for Dells, etc.

Hahaha, proof that Gizmodo is full of tech-bigots.

... or not? http://gizmodo.com/5065133/the-truth-about-the-apple-tax Interesting.

Seriously, I learned to compute on C64s, GUIs on a B&W Mac, trackballs on an ICON, how to suffer in DOS4.2, how to overcome suffering in DOS6.0, how to be tempted with throwing things out of windows with a defective 1st gen blueberry iMac, the glories of Linux with our webserver, the agony of said webserver being wiped out without a backup because my techie didn't have one for some reason, and the happiness of an employee-generated copy of Vista.

I've experienced the glory joy and pain of many different forms of tech. Bring it on moreso.

Well the good thing is that the balanced and appropriate reporting out at Gizmodo says this commercial is all wrong because some guy wrote in to Giz saying he'd give her his mac book for free. So see? All you have to do to get a sub $1000 Mac is have one given to you.. or steal it I guess. GOD M$ LIES SO MUCH! GAW!!

Sorry for the rant, apparently asking why there's so much Mac stuff on Giz all the time gets your post privileges taken away.
