$5k in computer gear makes that woman an uber-geek. O_o

That is awesome...
Now if only the laptop had recovered itself using lasers and robots it would be even more awesome.

Sadly 5 thousand in apple stuff is like 1 top end mac book pro and maybe a ipod or something like that. **** is a tad on the expensive side.
And it was most likely an IM program or something that logger her into an online community (auto teamspeak login, auto messenger, etc)

There is a remote access program that comes w/ Leopard (the O/S) that you can activate to allow yourself to log in remotely and basically take control of your PC like you were there.

Uh, that'd be basically the best MBP you can buy, FYI.
You have to add on every single option (including a 3 year "warranty") to get to even $4500 on their top of the line laptop.
That's adding $700 in programs, 4 GB of RAM, a 300 GB HDD, and upgrading the processor.
Apple is just as expensive as any other commercial computer on the market.

Not entirely sure what your point is, but here in canada microsoft based laptops like toshiba and such have been putting out some really high quality laptops with better specs then the generation of apple mac book pros we have here, for 500 bucks cheaper atleast. The low ends are also about that much cheaper then the compareable apple low ends, not to mention that the store i worked at is now blowing out any laptop with an hd dvd drive so they are going below cost ;).
I may have exagerated a little, but 5000 bucks would be a laptop @ 3000, wireless keyboard and mouse 150ish, software as you said, and updgrades in it. Doesn't take long

Don't know what you're talking about; a toshiba with approximately the same specs as a $2799 MBP is $2449 with a worse graphics card, worse display, and lacking software that comes standard on an Apple machine.
But hey, people that think Apples are extremely expensive have their opinion. I prefer to look at the best computer for my money, with the best support, etc.
That's definitely an Apple.

Wow man you couldn't be more wrong.
(a) Those Toshibas and Dells are crap by the MBP standards
(b) We have the same models as the US Apple stores.
2.6 GHz Core 2 Duo
LED Displays
8600M optimized to work as fast and for less power than most 8800Ms
All weighing in at ~5.6 lbs.
Finally, the form factor. Neat, clean design. Prestigious looking.
Different products, different league.
PC World was surprised to find:

The fastest Windows Vista notebook we've tested this year (through 10/25/07) is a Mac. Try that again: The fastest Windows Vista notebook we've tested this year--or for that matter, ever--is a Mac. Not a Dell, not a Toshiba, not even an Alienware. The $2419 (plus the price of a copy of Windows Vista, of course) MacBook Pro's PC WorldBench 6 Beta 2 score of 88 beats Gateway's E-265M by a single point, but the MacBook's score is far more impressive simply because Apple couldn't care less whether you run Windows.

I'm not debating that apple isn't a solid company, i just find that it is just a waste of money for the average person in my city. Also you and jord missed my comment on the hd dvd laptops going on stupid clearance prices making it much cheaper in my area.

Honestly when it comes down the pc vs mac argument there's one thing that's basically always true; You get what you pay for.

Man, I sure love the Mac vs PC community, I have a PC it was cheap it runs fine and the worst problem I had was my media player acting up. That being said my family is a bunch of computer geeks with computer based jobs, I have about 15 computers in my house, 7 of which are macs who i can use just as easily. So really, you all fail, because I have 15 computers.
Yes, ALL OF YOU FAIL.
Be nice if my computer knowledge consisted of more than ctrl+c ctrl+v though. Or that any of those nice computers will ever be used for any sort of game outside of solitare

I agree with this. Condescending ********.
I use both mac and pc. Both have their pros and cons. But those commercials just make me want to go postal at a Mac convention.

here's one
here's another zomg
This one rivals the mac book air's size, yet is far superior in specs /gasp
Do i need to link more? If you want to argue setup lg's have more or less the same kind of set up a mac has. You turn it on and it's good to go, unlike most other brands that just give you a partition to start setup from. Also lg gives you the recover discs.
Now to rub it in further let's look at the mac pricing on this page. gee starting macbook pro is 2000, that seems alot higher then 1600 for a compareable machine...
edit: small note on the p300 the screen says it's an led on the box, but in the review they call it an lcd. Not entirely sure why they did that, could be an error in either or

It didn't say "computer gear" the article said "electronics" which could include a lot of different types of gear. $5K is on the low end for Audiophiles - they could spend that amount on speakers alone.

Quinz, the machine you linked isn't even close to as slim as the Air.
The Air at the largest part of the machine is still smaller than the smallest part of that machine.
0.76" vs 0.83".
The other two you linked are actually worse computers than a 17" MBP. One has a far worse processor (2.1 GHz vs 2.5 GHz), and the other not only has a slower processor, but a lower resolution screen. It's also an LCD screen vs an LED display, but meh.
Nice try.
What a shock, you get what you pay for an Apple computers are actually competitively priced?!
