Have you both actually used a new unibody Macbook?
I hope you realise that computers are made from magnets. Speakers, hard drives and sometimes the latch. The magnent in the Magsafe adapter is strong enough to keep it in place and never fall out accidentally, but still be easy to remove when you want it removed.
No, not every OS does that. That is what I am getting at. Often I have used the ctrl + a shortcut on a Windows computer, only for it to not work. I don't want that to happen. I don't want it to work in most of my OS, I want it to work in ALL of my OS. I don't want to try the shortcut, only to realise it doesn't work, and then have to try tripple clicking or whatever. The consistency of OS X is one of the things that makes it so amazing.
No, no it does not. By default, when a developer uses any Cocoa text field in their application, it get's spell check. It get's dictionary definitions. It gets consistency by default. The only time it depends on the program, is if the program turns it off
If you don't see the advantage of having a trackpad as big as the Macbook's, then you obviously havent used one, and same goes with the scrolling. I know scrolling isnt new, but the fact that you can do it from anywhere on a Macbook (and in any direction) by just using two fingers blows the competition out of the water. So far, I have not seen anyone else offer anything like this. It isnt hard to click a the right button on a trackpad, but it is so much easier to right click anywhere on the trackpad using two fingers.
I agree with you in that regard. You would be crazy not to use a mouse if you were going to be using it 10 hours a day. But what I was trying to get at is you are not always going to be using a mouse. You are not always going to be at a desk. When you are not, you are going to want a proper trackpad that is smooth and has enough space to move around. Once again, if you can't see the advantage of the massive, smooth multitouch trackpad, then you obviously have not used it.
No. Since when did a service pack for Windows provide more features? Last time I checked, Windows service packs are just a collection of bug fixes. My system received a substantial boost from Snow Leopard, and lots of new features. I am glad I paid the $40 for it.
I bought a $3500 Windows laptop for my mother (at the same time as I bought my Macbook) and it is sluggish and takes ages to start up. Sure, I could go in and optimise settings to make it wake up faster, but I don't want to. Just like I don't want to have to guess how to select all the text in a text box (do I tripple click, or use ctrl + a?). OS X does this out of the box, regardless of how much you paid for it.
I do recall in the past issues with Magsafe adapters, especially with the cord fraying, but it is my understanding that these issues have been fixed and resolved. I have never seen a Magsafe adapter fail or have any problems. I know of people with Macbooks from all different generations, and they have never had a problem with it. Never once has it 'accidentally' came out.
I hope you realise that computers are made from magnets. Speakers, hard drives and sometimes the latch. The magnent in the Magsafe adapter is strong enough to keep it in place and never fall out accidentally, but still be easy to remove when you want it removed.
Yes. Some of these are subjective, what else were you expecting? Charts and graphs proving that Macbooks are better (or worse) than other laptops? I have not researched any of these points. They all come from my experiance with Macs and my Macbook.
