All that is true, except that Leopard is arguably (Or at least in my opinion) one of the worst OS's. You can't download many programs, if you accidentally delete a program that comes with Mac, you have to take it back to the Apple Store for a "Genius" to tell you everything's all right, not fix anything, and send you back with the problem you had in the first place. Also, You can't download most games on it, which is a HUGE turnoff for me buying a Mac. Gotta say the design is kick-ass, though.

No. It's like having a beautiful faithful wife instead of a nasty whore.

Unless you use some bootleg software which you had to use a 'crack' to use it - that allows the Mac to get Mac virii. :D

nice, but have to lose the glossy look, maybe brush it myself with some steel brush, givin it the brushed metal look (yuck glossy)

samsung fones sucks! NEVER EVER BUY IT!

[Shrantic]

Yeah, and with a PC you could simply download protection programs. Getting a Mac is like getting a vasectomy instead of using a condom.

[hallaelementary]

Yeah, with a Mac you cant download spyware and viruses.

lol. I laughed at "socket"

any ideas as to when this will be available in North America? unless it has already hit the market and i just can find it?

When Jobs introduced the MacBook Air to the public, he didn't emphasised its weight at all. But ironically, Samsung's marketing is focusing on 'lighter than air'. lol.

Anyway, I like X360's design, much longer battery life, and it's quite thin as well.

But my choice is MacBook Air..

It has much faster CPU (about 30%) and GPU (2 times?), multi-gesture trackpad, backlit keyboard, elegant unibody.. and the Leopard - the superior operating system.
