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)
LCD 15.4" or 17" vs. 15.4" (same resolution as 17" MBP - 1680x1050)
Weight 6.8lbs vs. 6.5lbs
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
Posted 10/01/2008 at 08:17:05pm
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.
