Besides, the macbook pros were recently updated and i hopefully pick up mine this week.
I know it is not a laptop. The question is WHAT CAN IT DO THAT A LAPTOP CANNOT DO? My opinion was asked, i gave my opinion what can it do that a laptop can't do. The fact that the ipad is not a laptop IS IRRELEVANT.
I think it is rough to say that the ipad is less than 500 grams. And you can't take anything out of the ipad to get it below that weight either.
Sure the 13 inch doesn't have a iX processor, but core 2 is just fine for my needs. It has a decent graphics chip for the new price compared to what else is available. it is a bit heavy, due to Apple style over substances. I've been looking for 4 months for a new laptop. I was looking at Sony Z, Dell inspirion 13z, maybe Sony Y (or X) specs didn't find my needs but price was better. I did want an optical drive, but was prepared to potentially ignore that for lower weight. Or of course the toshiba R600, but price is bad and it needs an update.I wasn’t impressed with the updates, especially so for the 13” model, but realise that’s more of an issue to do with Intel and Nvidia fighting than what Apple could’ve done with it.
I look forward to an update with Light Connect or whatever it is anyway.
First off, I'm not trolling apple fanboi threads. I'm offerring my opinion about 1 apple product. Clearly, I'm not so stuck to apple that I can't find fault. That doesn't mean I don't respect others opinions about that product, but then I also don't expect to be told the cough*ing blindly obvious about the product that I have a neutral opinion about.Says the guy that’s essentially trolling a thread full of Apple fanboi’s
Seems like you got the response you were looking for
The thing is, I already have a Core 2, I’ve had one for 3 years and would love to move onto something a bit better. it’s like the G4 updates that always seemed to be another couple hundred MHz, pretty worthless in the grand scheme of things. Whereas, the iX processor as you say, has a few more features under the hood that the Core 2’s don’t.
As for the other options you’ve mentioned, I don’t look at them not because I like Apple products and was probably a fanboi when I was a little younger, but I do so because I like the OS I’m using, and know there’s only one place I’m going to get it, without having a load of hassles trying to get it to run on hardware it wasn’t made for (ala Hackintosh). I’m used to it and don’t particularly like using windows that much, I can, but feel I’m much more productive on my mac these days.
So when looking for a newer model, I’d prefer the update to be a little bigger than 240MHz at a minimum
(I was trying to be brief due to coming in late)
