Oh, I'm rich and snobby, am I? I think my credit card company will be interested to know that. :P
Just so you know, I'm as poor as the next cube drone schmoe coming off an 18 month unemployed stretch. And I've had to go 3 years without buying a new computer of any kind. And the 2001-era iBook that was the bottom of the line when i got it is still my primary computer and is going to be for the next 6-8 months at least. It did need a logic board replacement last year but has run pretty well in 3 years. Total cost of ownership has been much less than a comparable 'commodity' PC would have been, because that PC would have had to be upgraded almost completely by now.
I feel I got my thousand bucks worth out of this laptop.
