[QUOTE="Mama Luigi, post: 795761, member: 83273"] I think Apple is definitely turning into a notebook-centric company anyway. They're updating them a lot more frequently and they're clearly pouring most of their effort into them at the expense of desktops. That's where they can compete the most. Desktops face competition from cheap Dells and do-it-yourself boxes, which are more powerful and cheaper. The iMac is part of a pretty small niche of luxury AIO desktops that sacrifice expandability and low price for a sleek and stylish design. But notebooks are a huge market. A lot of people just buy laptops even if they don't really need the mobility because there's no real reason not to. Anyway, as far as laptops go, Apple's pretty good. You can get cheaper ones from other companies, but they usually make tradeoffs between mobility (being thin and light), performance, and price. Plus there's no temptation to build your own with a laptop since it can't really be done (I guess it can but it's totally different from building your own desktop). [/QUOTE]
