For the kind of money they ask, their machines should be absolutely flawless. I wish they'd spend more time concentrating on whether their hardware works properly, rather than fucking about with OMG-ultra-thin-but-no-drives-or-anything-useful, dodgy music players, tarted-up magic slates, phones that you can't use to make phone calls, cloud TV or whatever their latest distraction is

they are a bigger phone company than a computer company now
I think they rely on the rabid apple fans to see no faults and buy all things.

Unfortunately true
I'm typing this on a Macbook Pro and I've liked the machines I've had, but the overzealous worship that goes into so much of this is frankly alarming. Apple make nice computers - so do Sony, and so do Toshiba and HP at the higher end of their ranges.
That said, I wouldn't mind one of the Core i7 Macbook Airs for when I travel. I travel a lot and I like the idea of a computer that's actually faster than my MBP, weighing 1.5kg less. Though with the work I do the SSD might be fucked with weeks. Hmmm. This might not be as good an idea as it first looked.

To be fair it is seven years old now
but even so :( It might just be a couple of RAM chips buggered in which case life is easy. If it's the CPU I may as well sell it back to Apple for the enormously generous £30 they'll give me.
