NewsI'm not really an apple on
Overpriced MacBooks Claim 20% of Notebook Market, Foolish Hipsters' Money

Posted 10/04/2008 at 01:42:48pm

I'm not really an Apple hater, I just have a budget.

I go to a school that uses almost exclusively Macs, and I like them, it's just that they don't do anything for me other than look cool. It's like a Porsche 911. Overpriced, moderately fast, and you can get faster cars for the same money or less (Lotus Elise, M3, C63 AMG). Yes, the driving experience is great, but it's also great in the other three cars, and you get a choice.

Overpriced MacBooks Claim 20% of Notebook Market, Foolish Hipsters' Money

Macbook Pro vs. Asus G50

Now remember, the G50 is $1700.
The Macbook can be had for $2744, just over $1K more.

             The first is the Macbook Pro and the second is the Asus.


CPU           Core 2 Duo @ 2.5GHz  vs. Core 2 Duo @ 2.53GHz
RAM           2GB DDR2 vs. 4GB DDR2
GPU           Nvidia 8600m GT(512mb) vs. Nvidia 9700m GT(512mb)
HDD           250GB 5400rpm vs. 500GB 5400rpm
LCD           15.4" or 17"  vs. 15.4" (same resolution as 17" MBP - 1680x1050)
Weight       6.8lbs vs. 6.5lbs
Warranty    1yr vs. 2yrs

They both have cameras (though the Asus' is better quality - 2mp) and microphones, and the Asus has 1 more USB port (4>3), but sacrifices one Firewire port for an eSATA port (which the MBP does not have).

I'll let you figure out the rest.

Absurd Hike in Royalty Rates Might Lead to iTunes Closure: Apple

Knowing Apple, they'll just raise their prices more, and everyone would still buy songs from them, because [avg consumer]iPods only work with iTunes.[/avg consumer]

Really though, people would still buy stuff even if it was $1.66 a song, especially if it's DRM-free. 

I would just get my songs from eMusic or Napster anyway.

I agree with all of them though.

The Dream Machine Revealed--Part Two of Three!

Posted 07/30/2008 at 02:32:23am

Really? Explain this: The 4870 falls somewhere between the 260 and 280 in performance across the board.
Logic means that 4 4870s will be faster than 3 GTX 280s. And considering a GTX 280 is nearly as fast as a
9800GX2, that means the 4 4870s will outperform two 9800GX2s in SLI.

And explain this too: http://www.techreport.com/articles.x/15105/3

And that's with underdeveloped drivers. So, I believe the magazine remains unbiased.
