It's $1,100 for a underpowered computer, how is that a great value? Yes it's a fantastic value compared to a $2500 Macbook pro

Wow, what a surprise, Macbook air listed first. Just put a disclaimer at the beginning of every tech article stating: "we're sponsored by Apple."

WTF ever, Mac is a MAC is an Apple; in the context of the article and comment it works

Uhhhh I still use my Lenovo laptop from 2007 which is running fine. I don't know why you people think Mac's last so much longer than PCs, the typical lifespan of a PC is at least 5 years. In corp we replace PCs after 5 years because they're under powered/out of warranty, not because they all magically break after 2…

At least in a porche you can say "oh you're paying for a higher performance engine, blah blah blah." If they put all Honda Civic Components in a Porche and charged Porche prices your analogy would make more sense.

Wahhhhhh don't try logic and facts, that's not how the Apple game works. You can't compare computers spec for spec because apple puts special computer fairy dust on the computers that makes them better

So you obviously must shop at bestbuy and take the advice of the Geeksquad if you were told the samsung series 7 is the best high quality notebooks. If that's the case you don't know much about computers and base your decision entirely on aesthetics, so way to pay that huge mark up for a better looking case and…

If it was slightly more expensive I could understand that justification, but you're talking about a product that is (at least) twice as much as other products and arguably the other products are more useful. People also keep going back to the quality which is a ridiculous statement. They're made with the same…

They could slap the apple logo on a cassette player and sell it for $500, it's still overpriced.

Blackberry was priced the same, Android products were generally less expensive depending on the model and features(but allowed cheaper storage expansion). This is more the fact taht $600 is a lot to pay for a toys, once might even say "over priced," for a toy. Wow you can control your TV and play angry birds while…

What on the surface doesn't work as advertised? Seems like you just read that some where (probably Gizmodo) and are just repeating someone else's review.

HuH?

Naive people are in high supply soooooo

You just spec'd a $4K MBP, at that price you're not talking overpriced you're talking completely stupidly over priced. Seriously how can you even think that is "maybe overpriced?" You could've gotten the same in a windows laptop for about 1/3 of that

Support? So having a genius bar that you can go to and have someone power-cycle your device makes them unrivaled? When people figure out how to reload their OS I swear the Genius support folks will be out of business(cuz that's all they do).

Sooo you don't get out much.

So basically you were too dumb to figure out how to use your samsung so you ran back to the kiddy friendly underpowered/overpriced MacBook. Another person paying the $1K idiot tax Apple tacks. Also, $499 for a 16GB table in mid 2010 was only a mind blowing price to apple fan boys who were used to paying $2K for a…

Just looked on the Internets for pricing and can't find what you're talking about. Where do these mythical laptops exist?

So why is the surface on there? It just came out and hasn't 'failed," if anything it's sales numbers are promising.

Price leaders compared with what?
