It's true, it's how it should be, and it's been a long time (too long) coming. |

The reviewer has a lot of it wrong. System specifications weren't important because of Microsoft and everyone running a common platform. Ten years ago, the only people really buying were individuals who all had at least a rough understanding of system specifications if they looked at one. Today, the vast majority of consumers have no clue what M and G stand for. Their ultimate conclusion is correct. System specifications no longer matter, but it's because consumers simply don't understand what they're looking at. To them, it's technobabble that they don't have to care about. |

That reviewer, as Corolinth notes, is totally oblivious to the fact that personal computers (both desktop and laptops) and other mobile computing devices have become disposable commodities. A $700 laptop is something I fully expect to throw away within 18 months of purchase. The problem you guys are having ... Apple doesn't make commodity computers. Apple doesn't have a commodity OS. Apple doesn't can't see the disconnect between their computer products and their consumer electronic division. At least one part of Apple got it really, really right ... Another part got it, whatever it is, really right ... The Desktop and Laptop division? They kind of failed spectacularly in the face of the last decade's success. |

Apple's got wiggle room to have products not do well. |
