Seems to be that many of you don't want to like the Mac on principle. I use Vista HP x64 PC that I built and a year old macbook. I find them equally pleasing in their own respect, with my macbook providing a better experience for web browsing, typing up papers and using the iLife suite (iPhoto is amazing for keeping collections). My Vista PC has its many pluses as well. It acts as a DVR for me, and I use it to game. I love to upgrade my PC which I could only replace the RAM and the HDD on my mac. My point is that this article, however flawed, is supposed to be an illustration of a person's experience switching from PC user to Mac. The author highlights the Mac's strengths, since you all can EASILY point out it's weaknesses ad nauseam. It's disappointing to see so many close minded people when it comes to the competition in the marketplace. To sincerely enjoy computing you should really at least consider all that is out there, and not just what works on the Microsoft/Linux boxes. OSX is a treat to use, and the multitouch trackpad is very handy.
Last I checked, Tomshardware.com was about reviewing computer hardware, and not just Windows/Linux compatible parts. A large part of reviewing is benchmarking which all of the gamers/overclockers love to see. There are however people who like to see more of what is out there in the market. Alternative offerings that the OC/Gamer crowd don't necessarily flock to.
This article states that the macbook offers quality construction, a chipset that is faster than what Intel offers, an OS that is different yet enjoyable to use, and other features of a Macbook. All you readers seem to focus on is why on earth would the author say such things? It must be Blasphemy! The point is to relate the experience, and maybe some of you will try it. The point is not to be a blatant attempt to 'convert the overclockers and pc gamers' as that isn't the crowd a Mac draws. It's a general purpose computer and not a gaming PC. This website IS NOT all about just OCers and gamers, although they do cater to them from time to time. Go to extremeoverclocking.com or ocforums.com or overclockersclub.com or some other website to flame about all that if you want.
Flame away, as I'm sure a lot of you will.
