The Ipad is a laptop killer?
Maybe for you.
I still want a keyboard (and I want one larger then a Cell phone has).
So far, nothing has replaced my computers.

That's just the talking point of tablet junkies, they're totally going to kill laptops and desktops dead, any day now even. Just you wait and see!

Yeah, I know. Anybody remember the Newton?

Problem is that once you start comparing with "simplier" PC your comparision becomes unfair.

Their simply is more developing and manufactoring cost involved in an iMac as there is in mATX puter useing offtheshelf components.

Wether you want to pay those extra cost for that extra mile is only significant cos Apple doesn't offer consumer PC in a standard form factor.

Now that Apple has adopted standard X86 components the comparison is valid.
OSX could run on off the shelf components if Apple didn't want to lock in another revenue stream.
I find nothing particularly appealing in Apple designed hardware (let alone admitting that Apple goes an "extra mile").

It isn't terribly difficult to make a Hackintosh if you prefer to use OS X on non Apple HW.

Yeah, but then you're violating the EULA.
Besides, I don't find anything in OSX that stands out when compared to other OS'.
I'd actually rather use Windows or Ubuntu (OR MorphOS).
