Unless the laptop comes with a chair, desk, bed, pillows, and blankets, I don't think it really has anything to do with comfort. Mac is just about making things look flashy to distract you from the obvious suckage.

the new mac trackpad is better than any cheap mouse you can get.
he meant software wise.

If you want a MacBook with higher specs, you can buy a Macbook with higher specs. Mac was never about being the most cost effective computer, it's about being comfortable. Which goes right back to the Rolls Royce argument. If you want to spend a lot for a comfortable car, you spend a lot for a comfortable car. If you want a cost effective car that works, you buy a cost effective car that works. If I had any other laptop it would have been out the window by now because asthetically and ergonomically it's god aweful by comparison. 40% of university students (at this university at least) use a Macbook pro, Why? Because a MacBook can do pretty much anything a PC can, and make you feel better doing it. If you're going to spend 8 solid hours on a computer, you want one that's comfortable, and that's what the MacBook is all about. Of course, arguing comfort to someone who likely has never seen a Macbook in person is pointles. Go out and try one for a day and then speak. If you're spending 8 solid hours on a computer, which I do since I am a developer now, you do want something comfortable, which would be a mouse, no trackpad at all. you're not getting any more comfort on a mac laptop than specifically that asus I mentioned, the asus has soft touch plastic which is extremely nice to rest your palms on, the trackpad is nothing special but its not uncomfortable. So if a computer with crappier hardware besides the trackpad, and much more expensive, then be my guest buy the mac I personally, having used plenty of computers, find no justifiable reason for the cost of a mac idk wtf you talking about, have you looked at the new macbook trackpad? has nothing to do with being comfortable, more software wise. If I had to use a trackpad for work, id shoot myself in the head, it doesnt matter how many features it has, I do 6-8 hours of work on a computer daily, I want the speed and comfort of a mouse
the macbook trackpad has more speedy shortcuts than any mouse could offer lol look it up it's new. i'd rather use this than any mouse.
speedy shortcuts dont speed up highlighting code to copy and paste, Ive used the apple track pad as Ive mentioned, I used to repair macbooks with geek squad
omg this is getting stupid 9 pages of trackpad that's all? ,anyone with computer knowledge will not spend a damn 2k$ for a trackpad with a shitty/outdated video card that does not even have hdmi port natively stfu, a mouse is better specially when your doing office work and 3d,gaming
welp if a mouse is better for ya =/ can't do anything there.
A mouse is always better for everyone, as long as they have arms. If they don't have arms, they can stick with the pad.
I'm finding Kubuntu to be better for everything I need to do in college so far. I also find it prettier than a Mac.
Diabolos.Celestius said: All Apple does is makes you feel like you're a loser, a wanker, and a sheep unless you buy a Mac and then you become "different", trendy, artsy and part of the cool people on campus. All that shiny, smooth and elegant design is just a farce to trick the consumer-cultured zombie to buy their products that was made in China. Buying a mac does not make you "different"; in fact, you become even more of a sheep for breaking down your will to buy one for being fooled of the myth that mac is only for graphic design and art stuff. I'm a graphic design major and I don't use mac, I use a dell netbook with ubuntu linux for college. I saved about $1000 on free software and adequate specs and I'm still passing my classes. To the OP: use your own judgment to decide what you need as I did for my choice which was based on my very limited source of money. And no, I don't hate macs or Apple in general, I just hate their consumers. errr what does their consumers have to do with this?
