But they do make tablets, which HP are also pulling out of.

I was speaking about tablets.

And yes, Apple makes PC's. Really good ones too.

Er, they do indeed make personal computers.

You can load Windows on a Mac in several ways.

Dell, Lenovo, Acer, whoever buys HP. Lots of small options.

PC's are a commodity, they're essentially interchangeable. Everyone uses the same designs and parts, and charges about the same; HP hardly has a lock on the low-price part of the market. The only real variable is service.

Please.


I am quite sure that you know I meant Windows Based PC since everyone calls Apple computers "Mac."

This is the part of the market that Apple doesn't have a PC offering in.

You can scarcely get better than Apple in this catagory.

I'm typing this on a HP...but I've always had good fortune with Dells.

Thank you, Kali, for not trying to be "funny" like some others...

I feel for the folks who did the impossible at Palm and created webOS in the first place. As a company Palm just needed resources to finish its task. HP looked like the home that could provide just that but in the end it ended up being another unfortunate roadblock for what was one of the most promising OSes in the mobile space.

Would love to see Asus pick it up.

Gee, that was elegant !

For me, Macs are definitely not PCs. And you know my age, so keep the friendly question to yourself please.

Obviously the decade in which being rude or a smartass wasn't cool.

Please, look at your sig...and try to act like you wish to be treated.

It was meant to be tongue in cheek. I apologize.
