4llerbuntu:

bot keeps on swallowing my posts! why na?

anyway: u can check up my recent posts for my riposte eh

well these are a couple of things i would prefer that my laptop have that these una new MAC nor dey get:

1. Ethernet port!! i mean WTF!!! i have to buy a usb extension to hook up a LAN cable?
2. An optical drive (CD/DVD Drive) i mean really as in han han. . . . . . .
3. A card reader
4. A user replacable wireless network card
5  A replaceable  battery
6. Replaceable RAM.
7. HDMI ports

I can't believe this post has gone unchecked until now.

What in heavens are you talking about? The unibody Macbook has almost all those things you mentioned. The Macbook (Pro & non-Pro) have an optical drive, card reader, replaceable RAM and battery, and a mini displayport which is essentially the same signal as hdmi in a more compact package. Hardly any laptop comes with upgradeable LAN card. That is usually embedded into the system board. You can always get an add-on Usb network card if you want, but why the hell would you need that anyway?

Certainly you wouldn't be silly enough to compare the iPad, or even the Macbook Air to a full-fledged laptop. Those devices were designed to be super-mobile. The Macbook Air is 0 .4 - 2cm thick. One of the thinnest laptops ever made. It doesn't have an optical drive like most netbooks. But it does have replaceable RAM and battery.
