Not very playable? WoW ran great, and you didn't even have to have all the settings all the way at the bottom. What on earth did you have it set to?

I beat doom3 on my 1ghz / 768mb ram ibook...

I know a few people who have Macs here at school and they are always like, "I take mine in all the time, and they fix it up real fast. Their service is great." If it's such a great machine, why do you take it in ALL THE TIME? I saw a guy trying to sel an iPod with an AppleCare plan to this guy in CompUSA and he was like, "Mike over there in repairs had his iPod Mini replaced 4 times in 6 months because the battery kepty dying and he had the care plan. It basically paid for itself."

I guess the AppleCare plan is really good?!?! I don't get Apple's logic. Let's make a sub-par product, and just service it a lot? I don't hear it so much with iBooks, never with Powerbooks, but all the time with iPods.

Just a thought I've had on my mind since I heard that guy say that at CompUSA the other day. What kind of a sale tactic is that? "Yeah. This iPod is a piece of crap. It's basically not even going to last you 6 months. Better get the care plan." How about...just get another product that doesn't suck?

Well the mac is not so much a machine that a user services, so the care plan does come in quite handy at times. I already sent my powerbook in because part of the casing was getting some wear and they replaced it. My mac mini needs to go back because of some weird issue with the wifi giving the sound card some interference. I personally don't think a mac is any more reliable than your typically well put together x86 box, but the os and the look and feel of the hardware is what does it for me.

That's odd, I had my settings set to their lowest and it still ran like crap on my iBook.

I'm pretty sure all the ibook's come with tiger installed.
These notebooks are awesome btw I'm getting a laptop soon and that's the exact one I'm going for, I've read a lot of good reviews plus the thing just looks fantastic and I can't wait to use osx.
