For $1299 I can get a 13 inch Dell laptop (Studio XPS) with a 2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB DDR3 RAM, 500GB 7200 rpm Hard Drive, GeForce 9500M 256MB GPU and I can upgrade the battery for only like $80. I could get a 16 inch Studio XPS with a 2.53GHz IC2D, 4GB DDR3 RAM, 320GB 7200 rpm Hard Drive, Radeon 3670 512MB and 9-cell battery for $1330.

Macs have weak specs – heck, YouTube videos look pixelated like heck (don’t believe me? Try them out at your local Apple Store or Best Buy), and Flash (which YouTube uses) is crap on the Mac. The gestures are nothing more than gimmicks, there is only 2 USB ports, OS X’s dock is also very outdated and when Windows 7 comes out it will be even more outdated (1990′s outdated status), this gets hot too, MagSafe isn’t that safe (just see the reports), it’s just not a good notebook.

Get the Dell or another PC laptop with better specs and features, and if Windows turns you off, get Linux. Stay away from Macs.

I am giving this device a negative review because of the DRM in includes which is not fully disclosed to the public.

For examples:

(1)Irrelevant GUIs take away too much usable space from the screen.

(2) Apple seems to use it as an advertising tool, as often it would prompt me to purchase MobileMe and instructed me to sign up some tutorials at the Apple store etc. Compared to that, PCs are cleaner.

(3) Stuff in trash can’t be emptied, as they are locked by the computer.

(4) When you open a file directory, a new window will pop up.

(5) No Cut and move option for file managements. You have to select one file at a time and copy and delete it if you want to move it to a different location.

Thus, despite me having received this computer for just a few hours, I already dislike it.

What’s up with that, Apple guys? Even though you warned me that this item would not be included, you totally didn’t include it and THAT’S WHY YOU GET ONLY ONE STAR. Where’s the flux capacitor? The phaser banks? The racing stripes? Totally bogus, I say. Just because you didn’t promise it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t deliver it (because I want it). You should be ashamed of yourselves.

Also, I never bought or used this laptop, but I feel fully qualified to write this review. ONE STAR.
