Oh, and as for getting Macbook serviced in Asia, it really depends on the service center.
Technically, they can do whatever for you, if they want to.
In '06, I was in Shanghai then went to Tokyo, for the F1 races. ...snip... he gave me a brand new MacBook, cloned my HD over, set everything up and running, all in 2 hrs, FREE OF CHARGE. That was unbelievable, and what I call service. Good luck in China though

Had my iMac, purchased in Tokyo, serviced in Shanghai. First Shanghai said the extended warrenty was only good in Japan. I called up Apple US and they switched the contract over to China no problem. Ask and ye shall receive. Still pi$$es me off that I had to have it serviced at all, though....

Mention 3D games and a PC will and can piss over anything Apple could possible throw at it.

Right on! My 21yo gamer son has an amazing water cooled, neon lit, big screen TV totin PC system he built himself. Boggles my mind.

But when it comes to having a non-gaming dependable, easy to use, maintenance free (except for that friggin iMac service call) I'll stick with Apple. And yeah, I'm hooked now. My pretty little iPhone (which charges in less than an hour), laptop, desktop, calendar, contacts, browsers are all synced up! Like I tell my DH, if Apple makes it, I want it. ka-ching Next thing ya know, I'll be toting LV.

The best part is how seamless and easy it is to transfer over your entire system when you get a new mac/iphone or update to a new OS. Compared to windows or any other phone, don't ask... Unfortunately I've really lost so much respect for Apple as a company over the past couple of years but I'll keep buying their stuff as the hardware quality and customer service is second to none. Name me any other company where I could have walked in to a store in four different countries over the past few years and had something fixed with no charge and no hassles.

Flash is easily working on any Macbook Pro or any other mac computer.
The problem arises when you want to use flash on Iphone or ipad. however, if your ipad/phone is jailbroken, there is already a solution for watching flash...

Jeesh, he figured out about the covenant. Come on people, let's not let the secret handshake slip too....

BTW, Thank you all for the PC technology!!! Too bad it can't be packaged in a virus proof wrapper like my mac is. That's what I'm paying for.

You'll like this one; I go to my quilting group last week and there are eight of us. You can guess the demographics. Eight quilting ladies & yup! You got it, eight iPhones !

Don't feel left out, for if Macs get a stronger market share they will get their fair share. Its all about the numbers, PCs far out number Macs its not about which one is secure or not.

Also that is a lame argument anyway only IDIOTS who haven't a clue about what they are doing get viruses . . . oops did I accidentally describe Mac users? SORRY!!

I know plenty of very intelligent, computer savvy people who use macs instead of PCs. It's a matter of what you need to use your computer for. The whole argument is retarded.

I will say this though, Steve Jobs is an extraordinary businessman, but he has his head firmly planted in his own ass.

^ I know, just having fun winding up the fanboys and girls! Its not difficult to do, right? hahaha
