Don’t use the Macbook Air for comparison, that is a niche device meant for niche users (road warriors). It is still first gen with some first gen tech inside, so of course it’s going to be more expensive than it should.
Compare specs with the Macbook or Macbook Pro and you’ll find that the prices aren’t really that high for what you’re actually getting.

July 20, 2008 at 10:06 AM #243112seattle-reloParticipantI had an Acer for about 2 and a half years (which I loved) and the hard drive burnt out, so I replaced it this March with a Dell Inspiron. The laptop is pretty nice but I have had already 2 keys come lose so it’s not as sturdy as I would like, plus it’s disagreeing with some of my software – could be related to Windows XP??? My super nerdy computer engineer brother in law loves his MAC and tried to talk me into one, but I was being stubborn…I should have listened 🙂

July 20, 2008 at 11:02 AM #243179equalizerParticipant“Well honey, he gave you that tiny ring, he doesn’t really love you or care about you, he is a cheapstake or he has no money”. Implication being that he is a loser, we feel sorry for you.
Here is an example:
Heard a Phil Hendrie [While The Phil Hendrie Show became renowned for its unique and controversial guests, those guests are not real people (though callers dont know that) at all—they are fictional characters created and voiced by Hendrie himself]clip many years ago that had him “interview” guy that gave his fiancee a fake ring that he would replace later. All the women callers berated the guy for being a scumbag.Here’s another funny fake ad from Hendrie:
“Y’know friends, after the turning of the calendar takes place and there is, of course, the usual looting and rioting, and all of the money will be devalued and you’ll certainly want to have something to barter with, and that’s why Peenman Enterprises has come up with something, I think you’re going to want to have: really expensive-looking shiny sparkly things that look like diamonds. You can get a bag of really expensive-looking shiny sparkly things that look like diamonds for only $89.95, we’ll send you a bag of them, then imagine the fun you’ll have trying to use them to barter a gallon of gasoline off a 300-lb. biker, good luck to you ma man, good luck. Remember, Peenman Enterprises’ big bag of shiny…sparkly looking things that kinda look like diamonds, be we aren’t sure: $89.95—try to pass those off to some guy who looks like Road Warrior Part VI… and watch the fun begin.”
