I`m in!!
I've been doing some serious thinking the last month. I own a perfectly good iBook g4... but for some reason i wanted the black macbook the minute it hit the streets... my iBook works like a charm, and i haved it for 3 years now, but i thought it was time for a change (although buying a mac where i live is extremly difficult and expensive). So as i always do before investing a lot of money in something, i started researching about the macbook, it cons, it pros.. everything i can to convince myself that the macbook was the notebook I needed. But something happend, i started to notice that the macbook is full of problems, and everyone is complaining about a lot and different issues. Ant whats worse about it, is that everyone es covering the hole problem behind sayings like "its a rev a computer", or "its a core duo chip, its supposed to be hot". Come on people, let face the truth, apple has lost a some quality in the past few years, you only have to compare the materials of the computer to notice, look at the clamshell ibook against the icebook or the last ibook, and youll see. But, that is a lost of quality im able to bare with, because apple is in the computer bussiness and they want to make money. But with the recently change to the intel platform, apple has started to lose a lot(and i mean a LOT) of quality in its products. I personally think that apple has lost a lot by joining with intel, the new machines are no longer different, they are the same as a pc, in fact they have the same components of a pc, but in a fancy and slicker case; inside there is an intel northbridge, intel logic board, intel graphics, intel ethernet, c'mon... is an intel machine (apple is no longer controlling the hardware), inside an apple case, with osx running on top... And from what ive heard, its not running perfectly... 'cause people have been experiencing kernel panics, shutdowns, cpu throtelling, etc...
So, to conclude, i think that apple is loosing with the intel change, ill stick with my reliable, warm (not hot), ultra tought ppc computer (that only has hang on my once) until apple releases an apple ibook predecesor i can count on... not some cheesy intel box, that ill have to return in 5 days, because is discolouring, because it melted down, mooing, whining, killing dvd's with its superdrive, blowing up batterys, burning up magsafes, flaking, making noises that no one can descipher, etc... what do you think??
