As a Macbook owner I had to admit the Toshiba Protege latest ultraportable leaves it biting the dust. The current Macbooks look a decade older. Compare it with the Macbook Air:
- Weight 1kg (vs 1.35kg)
- Slim (even more)
- 3G modem built in.
- It has a DVD player.
- Removable battery.
Apple needs to catch up fast or they are going to loose on this one. Unless something changes, next year I'll be buying my first Toshiba. Apple can't charge prime and under-deliver.
Oh, and asking to pay full price on new OS version that came out only three months after laptop purchase didn't help. This is probably bye bye Mac for me, unless something major changes.
- tptacek 18y agoHow do you not see paying for the next OS X coming? Each OS X release date is one of its year's most hyped computing events.
- mattmaroon 18y agoApple's really far behind on ultra-portables because they tried too hard to make the Air thin. Nobody sticks a laptop in their pocket, and any bag is designed for a much thicker one than that, so there's really no use for it. What there is use for is a spindle and multiple USB ports.
