Angry PB Critics tear Apple apart

http://news.com.com/2010-1071-979757.html?tag=fd_nc_1 According to this review, the new Powerbook isn't that much better then a similarly configured Vaio that costs $600 less. For that price though, you don't get 802.11g card, or DVD Burner, or a 17 inch display. Any thoughts?

he seems more concerned with the reaction the audience were giving more than the actual products. i think he is trolling....ignore him

I don't know about the reliable, I couldn't get the keynote to work on my pb and ended up watching it on my pc.

But anyway, that guy is just trying to justify carrying around 5 more lbs and MUCH shorter battery life.

vaio is not a mac.

it's not running OS X.

it's not 17".

you cant burn dvds.

antd type in dark.

and it weight more.

the writer can go and vaio himself.

This clown probably needs to but a make. He seems, like many out there, to be a staunch skeptic. Probably voted for Dubya. He's probably bitter becasue he really had nothing to complain about. The 'similarly config's Viao' weight about 3000 pounds and only have a 16" screen and it is not wide-aspect.

He needs to stop his whining.
