Anyone going to stand in line for this thing? Just wondering

UHHH NOOOO!  Why would i waste good money on that crap.  They claim its good for watching movies??? No DVD or Blue Ray and 9.7" screen??I have a very nice BIG flat panel 1080p LCD in my living rooom.  They say great for surfing the web...Yeah if all u do is read a bit of new and write Email.  No USB, No Removable Battery, No removable Media, No camera (u can argue but it is nice for video conferencing and video chat to start), 64 GB memory (6 months and full).  I bought a nice Toshiba 16" HD LCD laptop, DVD/Combo burner w/LabelFlash, AMD athlon dual core 64 bit CPU, 3 Gb RAM, 250 GB HDD, Wi-Fi, USB, and tons more for $445.00.  Its expandable, runs Windows 7, has removable media card slots, external E-sata port and much more.  I don't want a half @$$ piece of junk from apple.  Problem with Apple is great ideas, but they always leave a bunch off it on purpose.  Music player .. Itunes, no flash, Book reader if you buy books from thier Ibookstore.  Wow people b1tch about MS but Apple is monopolizing just as bad.  Besides all the online games i play you can't run on a Mac and there is another reason for me to steer away.  Besides if i want to use Mac )Sx i have Tiger on an Imac that hasn't been turned on in almost 6 months.  Funniest thing is i almost daily use my Amiga 3000 and the Mac only collects dust.  Oh yeah and Multitasking IS NOT THERE.  Any true Amiga user will definately notice that.  Apple Sucks casue they never listen to user (remind anyone of Amiga inc?) and constantly leave out things people have been complaining for years about.

Not hating mac, its hating a device that costs more than most laptops and lack tons more than one.  It's Apple doing the same thing over and over again and Macheads oohing and aweing over it.  Think about it what have people complained about on the Iphone the last 2 yrs???  And now the Ipad in its pretty case with no USB, no cd/DVD/blue ray drive (what if the OS goes crap how do you re-install the OS?? send it to Apple so they can charge you?  Where's the Camera for video conferencing?  Where's the multi-tasking.  Great for watching movies??? not if u own them on DVD lol.  No flash?  Having to always buy Apps from Apple or music from them.  How do u rip ur favorite CD collection?  Oh yeah u either use a computer transfer it wirelessly or pay for the same music again from Apple.  No removable battery? unexcusable.  Apple makes these devices so you have to keep paying them ($99 to change battery, download apps and music from them.  Prob pay them to reload the OS once someone with a lot of time on thier hands decides to write a destructive virus).  Want one hmmmn no thank you my Laptop hands down destroys it.

@ Shurk

what if the OS goes crap how do you re-install the OS??  

Do you know anything about modern technology at all?

 hmmmnn.. yeah I do since I do network infrastructure for a hospital.  I'm talking about the average person.  So go ahead and enlighten me on how to re-install the OS without a DVD/cd drive?  Obviously u can't do it over wireless since ur OS is Toast, u can't D/l it since well OS is toast, u cant boot from a thunb drive or mem card since OS is toast.  So im curious.. just how do u expect to without opening it up (remember we are talking about the average user not a techie)?

I also never stated it was a laptop I made a point of how much more a laptop can do referrinf to a price comparison and the fact to get the "High End" Ipad would cost $899.00 and still lack on features

Sync music via Wlan???  Again you miss the point.  If you have a CD you like then you must burn it to a computer, then sync it to Itunes.  A lot of hassle for music.

Another thing I am not whining about it I was simply comparing the usefulness of it to me.
