I hold McAfee ultimately responsible for that particular issue, although with your example it would be like blaming the manufacturer for my car boot being full of junk causing my 0-60 time to double

But in my experience most of the people who own macbook own them because they're considered cool/look good (reasons they gave)

Indeed, it's an annoying stereotype.
"Why do you want a macbook?"
"BECAUSE IT HAS GLOWY STUFF"
....riiiight....
*polishes apple products*
Nope, not really, an equivilent machine will cost around the same price or more, for example the laptop I'm typing on now is a Dell XPS M1330, which cost over £1000. I got it discounted and so it was considerably cheaper than a macbook at the time, problem is Dell don't really do any equivilents now (the studio XPS is dire in comparison). Sony do a nice one, but it isn't unibody and comes in more expensive, the same with a few other decent brands.
Why put windows on it? Well I wouldn't just do a reinstall, i'd dual boot for starters, but i'd also use OSX as well, however I'd still need windows for a vairety of programs and i'd have to see if I like OSX enough to go through constantly restarting.
That's a netbook...
I need a truly portable machine for mobile photo editing as well as a variety of other high demand uses so power is useful, not a low power celeron. (However I do love the Adamo!)
People that buy Apple computers and install just Windows (or don't use OS X) really grind my gears. It's like they have some need to make a fashion statement. Buy a nice Windows laptop like the Dell mentioned above damn it. Most of the point of owning a Mac is OS X.
I disagree, and I know a lot of apple users hate it, but a macbook is just another laptop with a different OS on. It's nothing about style/fashion, it's all about buying the best machine for the money and at the moment that is the macbook pro for me. I've already mentioned why I would probably stick to using windows however as OSX does nothing better than windows for what I want it for (Photo editing etc) yet doesn't support some of the things I do on it.
It's no difference to people buying a cheap netbook installed with linux and installing windows on it..
So despite me posting our factual investigation of 8,000 different apps not migrating with Windows, vs. you playing a few games, you've extrapolated that the "vast majority of apps do work" ?!
That's a 1.3GHz Celeron processor...
(Although I did miss that first time round
)It's pretty well known that certain things made by Apple aren't actually "overpriced" when compared to equivilent machines:
Macbooks
iPhones (sim free, not contract!)
iPods (although they are usually around 5% over)

SU7300 isn't a Celeron processor...it is an Ultra low voltage Core2Duo. The Celeron 743 is only 32bit, doesn't support virtualisation and doesn't have SSE4 support whereas the C2D ULV SU chips all do.
He speaks the truth.
It was 12,000 apps that needed migrating, of which only 20% or so didn't need any changes.. can you not read? It's right the same post you talk about.

True, it even said it on the specs.... Don't know why I wrote that, either way it's still a ULV processor. I'm looking for a full blood laptop in a small shell.
Just to show what I mean. The two 13" Macbook Pros are around £800 and £1000 (although a bit more without student discouunts).
Comparable machines would be the likes of
Sony Z series - From £1,200-£1,700
Sony S series - From £850-£1,400
Dell Vostro 1320 - Equivilent one, with decent battery life are around £850 (and it's butt ugly and has no digital out video)
Yes they are slightly different specs and they are a range of types but they all are basically what I'd be looking for. Lets just say i'm not set on a macbook but compared to the above they are looking very good value wise (in fact I hate the idea of the stigma that will be attached to me for having a macbook but at the moment it is one of a couple of laptops that look like they will suit my needs).
