Get an Amiga sticker or something else to cover the apple logo and get over it.  They make good high quality computers and other hardware.  It is a silly religion to not recognize useful things, no matter who makes them.

I am no Mac, or Apple Zealot, but if it comes down to a choice between Windows or MacOSX, there is no contest, Windows always loses.

Of course I prefer AmigaOS and MorphOS as my first choices, but they have no way of keeping up with the big two, or even with Linux, which is a distant third, but gaining daily.

Actually, other then the Apple case, the parts in side are very "low-end". It is no secret that apple has used and continues to use ESC motherboards. The use parts from Foxcomm, any where they can cut corners.Like every other big corporation, its getting the parts for the cheapest price point to maximize profits. Right now they are sooo in bed with intel it's not even funny.
I am not an Apple hater, but I just wont buy into the hype that their products are any better then the average HP PC (or Dell or what ever).
I laugh at the people who have "bought into the hype" for the sake of "being cool".
Just my 2 cents.
And that is coming from a guy who paid over $7000 for a Voodoo laptop, before HP destroyed them.
