I actually didn't get the iBook right away. I got myself a big-ass Toshiba laptop. It was cheaper. It had 'higher' specs. It was a complete piece of junk and had the aesthetic appeal of a cinder block. It was only after I returned it that I nabbed an iBook.
I think the point I'm making here is not everybody really cares about having something that can score higher on benchmark tests than the other guy's machine. Some people just want efficient, good-looking machines that get the job done with minimum effort and, you know, have cash to spare.
Personally I use both PCs and Macs in tandem so don't draw me into this Mac user/PC user dichotomy some people obviously seem to believe exists.
