The missing link WAS the $220 instead of a standalone GPS.

The missing link NOW is the inevitable google turn-by-turn for free :)

says the guy who cussed in caps with "ghetto" spelling?

@Gimboa

I'm so ecstatic that your Lenovo experience has been a good one! Good for you!

According to data presented you're not the only one!

My friend was wondering how they fare in terms of reliability - this graph shows information about that. I'll go ahead and assume it's not a farce. I'll go ahead and assume you're a Lenovo fanboi?

Apple's number on in customer satisfaction - because they "strongly advise" everyone to pay an extra 10% for apple care, because they're damn near guaranteed to have to use it... and thus the customer is satisfied with the service (unless no apple care or course)

Personally I prefer buying a computer for $200 - $700 less (including cr"apple care") that will not need to be taken in for:
- battery completely dying (non functioning)
- hard drive physically crashing (no data recoverable)
- fancy mag-safe plug and adapter turning brown / fraying / malfunctioning

^^ All these are personal experiences with friends or family's Macs

I always liked asus - my first and second netbook, and my 6yr-old motherboard that's still kickin strong after being on 24/7 for 4 of those years, and damn if my 3gHz p4 isn't still doing great with win 7 installed - (Alienware - skipped vista)

Just had a friend ask me about lenovo - now I have some numbers to send him :)

@information central

i dunno - certainly more advantages than the $30 service pack you just bought - oh, and it wont delete all of your user data either...

So why are you using the latest OS instead of 10.0 which was out 8 years ago?
And let's talk specifics; not regurgitated, vague, feel-good BS from an Apple press release.

@F.C.

double page-long post - you sir, are a tool. Go write your own blog or take it to PM. You're wasting my screen-space and time.

@ 7egend

"best artwork"??

man oh man RDF has taken over your brain... You're incredibly vain and absolutely Mac-crazed if you seriously believe what you just wrote. No-one is criticizing your precious iPhone - no need to go up in arms to defend the "superior artistic interface" of a.... wait for it... 3.5 INCH display. Get over yourself man - oh and pull your head out of apple's a$$ - that isn't a tan on your nose...

It's unbelievable what some people will actually write in defense of a tiny little phone.

hrm... so when does Apple achieve legitimate cult status? I'm sure you're on the shortlist for membership...

Nope - Nokia's already agreed to licensing fees with everyone else.

Apple overprices their computers, and now anyone who sells an Apple supporting product overprices their products too? Sucks for Mac ppl...

10.6.1.1 contains only tenths...
