Also, while the base model M14x has the same CPU and RAM as the base model 13" MBP, it actually has a good videocard (while the 13" MBP has an integrated POS). If you compare even the top model M11x with the i7 13" MBP, though its CPU falls short from the MBP due to its smaller size, the M11x's other components are still much more powerful and $350 cheaper. And the price? The Macbook is $2199, the Alienware $1899.
The Mac still has 4GB RAM, behind again from the M14x's 8GB. If you want to compare the top model M14x with the top model 15" MacBook Pro (both with a 2.2GHz quadcore i7), sure: The GPU is more comparable, though the Mac side is still 2GB of VRAM behind. Why not just go the Alienware route in that case? The 2.0GHz i7 14" model, in comparison with the base model 15" MacBook Pro (which has the same CPU), is cheaper (by $300 according to their US websites), has 8GB of RAM (vs 4GB), not to mention that it has a high-end 3GB Nvidia GPU (in comparison to the MBP 15" base model's 256MB low-end ATI GPU, which is actually is a downgrade from previous gen). The RAM isn't really a valid reason to buy a MacBook. Hell, I've even found a laptop here for $430, and that has 6GB of RAM. That comment was about the thing DeathStrudel said about outdated hardware, and RP's reply.Īlso, I don't know about you, but where I live, $1000+ laptops don't have only 2GB of RAM. If you want something that uses a fine point, go get a device with a resistive (cheap, single touch) touch screen, or better yet go for a pencil and sheet of paper. I've not had any issues with accuracy using my finger or my Targus stylus. Capacitive = multi-touch capability + accuracy. How much does your Android tablet go for? Also, the touch screen comment really gets me. The apps that are out, and the quality of the build make the iPad far more enjoyable to use than any Android tablet currently on the market (not to mention that each company that produces an Android device has to use a custom build, most of said companies don't release the source code of their builds (Open OS FTW?), and a lot of games and apps that work on one device aren't compatible with another (even if the specs are the same)).
), its a supersized Iphone (an android can do the same) but I would rather go for a full featured windows 7 tablet with an active digitizer, Capacitive touchscreen aren't as accurate.
