[citation][nom]CocoHacker[/nom]Love the tech, though a lot of macbooks in the lot. Is there any other reason choosing a mac, besides it being thin and light?[/citation]
That's it for me. I can't use OS X near as efficiently as Windows, but it's easy to haul around on the road.

Thank you very much for sharing. With the amount of work needed to get done within time constraints, I understand many of the choices you guys made regarding your hardware. Keep up the great work.

[citation][nom]meh_pass[/nom]Wow I have to say I lost some respect for Tom's Hardware seeing all those one button devices designed for idiots.[/citation]

..Or you're just ignorant. Leonardo Da Vinci once said "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." I've had a business selling computers for years, but I am proud Retina Macbook Pro and iPhone 5 owner. Though, I've put around $4,000 into my personal build.

I can't believe everyone in the team is using iphone & a mac laptop.

Personally, i want a phone to be just a phone, & not something that requires a computer to activate & sync before its usable

I have my bad share of apple experience & am shunning away from it like a plague no matter what reviewers/paid reviewers say. The 1st is the airport extreme, that only lasted 26 days. The 2nd is the 2011 Air that lasted only 2 mths, & then after serviced, lasted only an hr.

iPad intuitive?? How does using 4 clicks to just close an app be intuitive?? I have to check it out on the web how, before i can show my wife how to do it. DOH!!!!

Call me jinx but apple products are the worst i've used so far, the ecosys is so locked out that it becomes really fustrating at times.

The mobility is awesome, but I actually like the OS itself in terms of efficiency. For mobile platforms, I prefer OS X, because there are numerous multi-touch gestures that help make up for the lack of the standard keyboard and mouse. When I'm at my house, I prefer not to use a mouse when on my macbook. Whether it's navigating through spaces, scrolling, or pinching to zoom, I love the versatility of the trackpad. The seamless integration between my Macbook and iPhone is also a great addition. I am an experienced computer builder though, so I've lived with the Windows platform my entire life. While I adore my Macbook Pro and iPhone, I am not a fan of Mac Pros or iMacs. Personally, I find OS X to just be annoying on a desktop platform. Although it may seem like a disaster, I much enjoy the parity of OS X and Windows. I feel like Windows doesn't have much to offer while being used on laptop, while OS X doesn't have much to offer while being used on a desktop.
