For the workplace using a mac laptop is laughable unless your company supports it, and I've never worked at a place that does. So, for people who are in college who can't use your laptop on exams, I guess it's okay. I bought a T61 and I couldn't be happier. |
I actually had a T61 prior to getting my MBP. As I said in the other Apple thread, the only laptops that I think are remotely close to the Macbooks are the Thinkpads. However, I would pay the extra $$ just for MBP trackpad, it's that good. I also prefer working in OSX to XP or Vista (lol), but obviously your mileage will vary.
Using a mac laptop in the workplace is far from laughable, I do it every day as a sys admin for an amlaw 100 firm.

If that user isn't their demographic, why do people keep trying to justify macs on technical superiority?

Who's making that argument? Certainly not anyone in this thread.
