Today @ PC World MacBook Air Amiss: Time to License Mac OS X?
Are you kidding me? I don’t know who this Mike Barton guy is, but he clearly must be trolling for hits on his blog.
Hey Mike - first of all, your comparison of the Macbook Air to a ThinkPad notebook you just bought is disingenuous because the ThinkPad you link to at $599 is USED, not NEW as you list it. Besides, refurb Macbooks can be found on the Apple Store for well under $1000 (some as low as $799). And we all know, refurb is much better than used, as you get a full warranty with an Apple refurb.
You’re right about Apple needing a budget laptop though. I mean, the sales of the Macbooks are just abysmal. Apple’s market share is just tanking. What will they ever do?
For the record, the above is sarcasm. Apple’s Macbooks at their $1099 - $1499 price outsell the competition, are extremely profitable, and Apple is kicking ass on the market share front.
In short, you don’t know what the hell you are talking about.
