Orangebird,,
I think a lot of apples are sold to felames because they look stylish. As an example, my GF bought an apple ibook 14" just over a year ago. She didnt even consider a pc and i think the main drivers for her were
its small n cute
it looks stylish
she could use her ipod on it (my pc kept eating her ipod!)
To be honest,i do find it rather difficult to use her apple but that is probably becuase i am always on my pc. Maybe if i spent more time on it,it would grow on me.
I do think they are a tad over priced for what they are. You may as well buy a decent spec'd acer notebook. Brand names mean nothing these days as they are all mostly made by the same OEM's in Taiwan and then just badged up. Take a peek at the notebook lineup at
