From what I've heard the reason why apple is limited is that some hardware devices aren't support in 64-bit environment. But I think this is just pure cock and bull story as they do work well in 64-bit linux and 64-bit windows

maybe they wan to limit so they can reuse the same hardware (or similar hardware) in future release? or maybe they wanna minimize the rate the hardware breaks?

Life is short, plus if he has the money and power to do whatever he wants. Besides, he might not roam lowyat.net so often like any of us here. He might be too busy enjoying life while we are contemplating why people spent so much for something they can get for less. Well, you might overlook one simple truth, it's just that.. well, the world is made in that order.
Faster specs or not, it doesn't matter. For them, style + money + no-need-to-learn-how-to-use-Mac is a good way to save time for hot-tub bathing in his own cruiser with martini and friends.
*I should stop before making this thread look like any other Kopitiam thread.

guys, 1 question here. the macbook pro, can we actually close it and project it using lcd as shown in the pic below? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « my desk is very small actually....something like from the edge of the monitor (left side) to the mouse pad or first IPod shuffle. i intend to put my mbp on the bed or somewhere, since i got another drawing tablet. haha, this is actually a big headache for me. what to do, my room is so small, i cant fit a bigger table anymore. :| unless i remove my bed n sleep on the floor.
