at no point did i say that the two were the same thing. i'm sorry you've failed basic reading comprehension and couldn't figure that out. i don't expect anything else from a troll tho.
 
Yep, here's a photo I took.

First when I brought up the 10" netbook we were talking about completely daily tasks. he said the 10" screen wasn't big enough because there was 3" more real estate on the MBP. I found a 15.6" notebook that was 399.99 that would compete as well. Unless you just want to keep expounding your ignorance over what has already been said in this thread and are going to make me continually explain my posts because you refuse to read.

Seriously, I'm done with this thread because there really is no point in arguing with morons.

Whether or not it was about daily tasks, I've never heard of anyone comparing a netbook to a laptop and then trying to justify that the laptop has a $$$ premium markup. You and another poster clung onto that netbook argument with a death grip. Your stance would of been more convincing if you didn't try to argue that point.

Because another user was talking about battery life.

If you chose a MBP for battery life... you chose wrong.

If user's priority is battery life, then I could see how that person would choose a less powerful machine to get the most battery life. However this still doesn't in any way validate a MBP having a $700 markup because a netbook is $300.

It doesn't matter how you twist it, it was a poor argument then and it still is now.

Well that's unfortunate it doesn't look as nice as a Mac, I'd call Apple and complain.

Wow totally expected response from a mac user! 😛

Forget functionality, if it does not look all nice and shiny and stuff send it back! :biggrin:

Are you sure that wasn't carnage from a previous user's foot that decided to go back to Wintel after they could not find the ANY key and eMachines told them to go F themselves? :biggrin:

No it definately wasn't that, it was a delivery guy at my old work that dropped a box full of stuff, that included. He didn't know what was in it.

I've not actually met someone who after owning a Mac Pro decided to downgrade to a PC hmmm :biggrin:
 
I did!

Just doesn't work with the software (Autodesk) that we used.
Also a workstation needs more ram. We have 128GB in a pair and frequently hit the page file which is on an array of SAS SSDs but still far slower than RAM. The next step is 512GB - 1TB RAM. At least RAM is getting cheaper.

Couldn't you just disable the page file, so it's all on RAM...?

No you can't do that. The page file contrary to what many people believe is required. Creating a ram disk and putting it on there is like rolling down the window and taking a leak while zipping down the highway too! :biggrin:

The only substitute for more ram is more ram.
