They can keep it coz thats just stupid money unless you want a poxy 8gb.
Better of buying a standard top spec lappy.
Apple are rob dogs and in the current financial climate its gonna bomb.

i totally understand your sentiment there kermit but somehow apple has seemingly always been able to maintain a good enough (profitable) market share while sustaining these high prices...i say this as i type away on my overpriced G5. but hey, they make cool shit

You guys didn't watch the vid then. 45 min. for an email.

How about when you start typing in text and it brings up possible sentences? Funny shit.

Man typing would take ages! Combine it with voice recognition and I might be interested.

Haha I wasn't sure but it didn't occur to me that sentence prediction requires a crystal ball!

I bought myself a Christmas present of a Lenovo ( IBM ) S10 IdeaPad netbook.
I went with the smaller 80 gig HD, it is all I need for installed programs.
I did make up the difference with a 500 gig USB powered HD for data.
It has been a sweet little machine. At 2.5 pounds my old bones don't mind carrying it around.

Enjoy
