    why is it controversial?

    #4 and #5 you are so right. If I were gonna switch away from Windows, I would go with a real linux OS.

    I bought this. I dont like it. I accidently sat on it and broke it.

    Uhm, yeah. iHate is only due to ridiculous over-pricing of bottom of the line hardware with a good OS. Elitist slope brow types who buy these are to be pitied.

    m0f0 feeling a little inferior? What's wrong? 6% in the American, 4% overall market too much for you to handle?

    since the mac uses the intel processors now and u can run Windows on a Mac, can u run OS-X on a regulate laptop like Dell/HP?
    #14   RagMaN - Posted 2:06 pm PDT 04/24/08 (858 Posts)
    #13. Yes. No.
    Mac will run windows, but the windows boxes will not run MAC...yet.

    I love that story about the reporter who accidentally threw his away in a pile of magazines because "it's so thin." However, the Lenovo X300 is only .1" thicker, the same weight but has 3 usb ports, card reader, ethernet, removable battery and an optical drive. With the STANDARD SSD drive, it's $300-600 less than the Macbook Air.

    I love the Lonovo tagline in their ads: "Everything else is just hot air."

    if this was 1000 bucks, I would buy it.

    actually, osx runs fine on lots of non-apple hardware.
    for a start, check out Psystar and osx86project.

    Authorities, arrest #17.

    This product is very controversial because Apple continues its unethical practice of ripping-off technically challenged and less intelligent people with its overly expensive yet inferior product other company wouldn't charge half for.
