Apple Laptops Transforming PC Sales?

So, I've always used PCs (used every windows operating system)... My first computer i bought was a pc, but this summer, i bought a mac and will never go back. i absolutely love it. it runs exactly how a perfect computer should run (and i mean exactly.) I'm never again buying anything windows

My friend recently bought a macbook. he had used pcs for his whole life, so when he got he, he opened the macbook and re-installed the operating system, thinking that's what he needed to do. lol. he loves it.... he says he feels like a woman would feel if she found the perfect man.

My MBP was SUPPOSED to start shipping yesterday.... ;(.......

I just bought a MBP 15" for my partner's birthday. He's a Mac person and refuses to use anything else. (And I get his Core Duo Mini to turn into an HTPC. Might even leave OSX on this one, though generally I rip that off for Linux.)

Before buying the MBP, I priced a similar Dell laptop just to satisfy my curiosity. I looked at the 13" widescreen with similar or better features (not taking software into consideration at all). The price was nearly the same. The MBP was less than $100 more expensive and had a larger monitor. So hardware to hardware, the Apple prices out very well.

Me? I'll never go Mac. ;-) I don't like business strategies based on lock-in. It's why I don't use Microsoft either. When the iPhone, a music player, is allowed to play its music library as ring tones and the iPod can play an OGG file, *then* I may rethink my Mac aversion.

Finally bought my first Mac, a Macbook Pro 15" in July instead of buying a Vista (yuck!!) laptop. Its been a real breath of fresh air, everything just works!

Some of my friends are planning on buying their first Mac. They're waiting for Leopard...

I'm waiting for a Leopard voucher or release, but I'm planning on getting a laptop pretty soon. I just need to figure out which one to not be able to afford but buy anyway.

Pay full payment for MBP 15" 2.2Ghz last 2 weeks....
Still waiting the unit .... ~sigh~

I worked fixing and selling PCs. After a few months of selling and fixing Vista I bought a MacBook Pro (2.33)

Nicest equipment I've worked on. Overpriced? Maybe, but it does all "just work", that's gotta be worth something.
When we have the spare cash, the wife and I will purchase a Macbook or iMac for her as well (she's curently running Ubuntu Linux, nice step up from WinXP in most ways).
And then there's my WinXP box... I avoid it, but need a few Win only apps, annoying programs to set up, with limited use activation keys and crap like that (not doing business with those companies any more!)

If Apple keeps it up I will eventually be almost all Mac (running cheap Linux machines built from junk parts is nice for small home servers and cheap desktops)

Yes and yes. Planning on replacing my aging 12" G4 with a shiny new Macbook. Can't wait...

i bought a used powerbook 12" about a month ago. Liked it so much I added a mini to my desktop rig.

I made the switch, as did my fiance... and although it turned into a rather espensive day for me at the Apple store, I doubt you'll see either one of us switching (or even considering switching) back to microsoft anytime in the near future. That said, I did go ahead and pre-order WMware Fusion so I could get the discount and keep copies of XP/Vista(Ultimate) with me without draging around my other laptop for those rare times when windows is "necessary". And while I do use a PC at work, I have to say that at minimum 95% of what I do at home is all in OSX.

I cant say that I'm 100% satisfied with OSX, but even at 98%, I am much happier than the 20-30% satisfaction I've experienced with Windows since the days of Longhorn. (and some of my unsatisfaction with OSX is undoubtedly due to inexperience from only having it for a few weeks.)
