| | | One more Apple related thought. These days I am not happy with many decisions in the Mac part of Apple. I do not like laptops with batteries I cannot replace. Laptops are for travel. Travel often requires multiple batteries. My travel certainly does. For this crucial reason, I may be forced into buying a hackintosh, when I have to replace my aging, now out of AppleCare warranty, repaired numerous times, first generation MacBook Pro. I do not want to do that, but don't see how I can survive with a built-in battery. Also, I already said that I sorely miss a Mac notebook. That is why I purchased a $400 Dell mini 9 hackintosh, months ago. I am not alone. Since then, about half a dozen people I know have followed suit. That is not good for Apple's bottom line. Even if I liked the rumored tablets, which I don't, I fear the only one with OSX on it will be the top, 15" model, which I assume will be more expensive than a MacBook. Bottom line, what bothers me the most is that I see the Mac line of products moving rapidly toward the iPhone model of buy it, don't think about upgrading it, instead throw it away in a year or so. Great for shareholders, not great for lifelong Apple users, such as myself. |
