Apple makes some nice hardware but they are not alone in making good stuff. They have some stiff competition.
For example my Sony Vaio Pro is significantly faster than any of the numbers mentioned in the article. It gets nearly 1GB/sec in read speeds: http://i.imgur.com/24GdPiz.png http://i.imgur.com/24GdPiz.png
The drive is partitioned so ignore the odd size.

- sergiosgc 12y agoWhy would someone in this day and age say something like ”X is enough” when talking about tech? Is that a wish to be featured alongside Bill Gates? (yes, I know Gates' quote is apocryphal)
