Let's say one day someone hack iPhone OS too and anyone can install it with their Nokia or HTC. And they tell you that you paid too much for your iPhone and in the end it's just the OS. How do you feel then? I'm pretty sure you will tell them it's not just the OS that simple...

Looks like you can only add more RAM and upgrade OSX.

n20nine gave a good point though but maybe sounded as if he is criticizing Mac. Chill ya people. hmm. have an apple everyone.
Yes, n20nine i agree that Mac is over priced for the same hardware spec u can get in a PC but as a MBP user for more than a year, I seriously think it is $ well spent.
Probably if you were to use OS X on a PC, you might not experience the full performance. As such, the macs are designed to fully utilize processor they have such as the santa rosa chips. They did an experiment on it and Vista prove to under utilise the hardware resources given, compared to mac which fully utilise the hardware given.
My MBP also got other cool hardware features such as light ambiance detector, multi-touch pad (very useful) and it is pretty light for it's size and category of laptop. I downloaded a widget that showed me the different temperature for each part of my mbp, such as the heat sink, fan A, fan B, CPU, memory control.
My acer laptop is just lying in the cupboard. I have not even bother to on it since i changed to mac. No reformating, no crashing, no virus, no spyware and all sorts of rubbish.
Chill people. Different people work differently. Everyone have their own choice. Thats why we got Windows and Apple.

Getting Started

Many are waiting to share their soon-to-be introduced new generation of Macs here. But waiting turns into frustrations and fights.
