It's a shame the $800 laptop rumor was wrong, with PC laptop prices dropping and APPL prices rising that OSX tax is getting to be a big differential. As a developer I couldn't use windows because there's no decent shell or vi or any of the tools I've spent the past couple decades using. OSX on the other hand is a UNIX variant that also runs Photoshop, which to me is the best of all worlds. I might consider one of the dell laptop OSX86 hackintosh ideas now that's maturing.

Its better to be wrong with Mac rumors, less chance of getting sued.



A developer using Photoshop, now that's scary.


software developer by day, photoshop for my photography interests.


APPL actually lowered laptop prices. 100 less for the bottom end. and 700 less to get features like aluminum and decent graphics.


Prices got more expensive like-for-like in the UK (presumably to hedge against recent exchange rate movements).


$500 increase in Australia
