Wow, that sucks. So I guess there are some advantages in living here in the U.S., even with a @#$%ing idiot running the country.

Can we please see the links to these laptops?

Agreed, but this thread morphed (from an ill-researched attack on one-button mice) into a debate about Apple hardware. In comparing a PC (as in any non-Apple computer that probably has an x86 or x86-64 CPU) to a Mac, it does make sense to discuss the OSes available on each. I'll take a PC desktop running FreeBSD or Arch Linux to a Mac desktop with comparable hardware any day, but comparing Mac laptops running Mac OS X to PC laptops running Windows XP or Vista, the former wins hands down, at least for me.
