Now, if only apple weren't so interested in overpriced hardware, Microsoft might get some proper competition.......

The 12" iBook isn't that bad in terms of pricing. High, but not outrageous.

Also, "meant"; mean't would be "mean not", I guess, which makes no sense.

Sure, my mac wasn't *that* expensive, but the only "upgrade" in hardware performance is buying newer mac. With my PC I just plug in a new processor or swap out the motherboard & processor, which happens to be a very cheap solution.

Comparing a PC laptop to a mac laptop considerably lowers the price/performance/value for money argument, because they're pretty much sold as is, i.e no upgrades. As far as desktop machines go, I stand by my original point, they're overpriced.

Probably the biggest performance advance apple could make would be releasing the (rumoured to be in existance) port of OS X for intel, but then they don't get to keep selling you the same thing over and over again (hardware).

You're right too, "mean not" doesn't make sense! I meant meant.
