Nice content free rant :/ I think "Apple fan" is largely a myth. maybe some people call themselves "Apple fans" and buy everything Apple just for the hell of it, but that's a very very small minority. I bought an iPhone because it's the best phone available. I bought a MacBook because it's the best laptop available. That doesn't make me an "Apple fan" though. It just means I chose to buy a couple of Apple products because they were the best for my usecase.

"...best" for me. Ultimately computers need to suit your needs. I find that I get by just fine with my $1000 pc laptop running SUSE and Vista. I'd consider it the best laptop available because it does everything I need and cost me helluva lot less than a macbook, with comparable specs. I could even hackintosh if I felt like it. An iPhone is the best phone available? Pretty sound statement I'd say based on the app store and great features (and on ebay, a relatively decent price), though we'll have to see about that...the Palm Pre is coming out ;)

  Yup the Palm Pre looks and sounds awesome. I think it could really compete against the iPhone. Hopefully the build quality etc is up to scratch. >> "get by just fine" I don't want to "get by" though, I want to completely optimize the time I spend on my laptop, because it's a lot of time. I want to enjoy that time as well. I don't want to be looking at some cracked black plastic thats been designed simply to hold the thing together and nothing more. It should be comfy, beautiful, have the best keyboard around, solid build etc
