REVOLUTIONARY TECHNOLOGIES

ARHMY is a stock Partial was always hyping; I think he was right overall

iPad is revolutionary. It's just beginning for that device. People won't have laptaps in 5 years. They'll have an iPad with a bluetooth keyboard for when typing is necessary.

They have this market absolutely by the balls. iPhone lost some market share due to being on limited carriers. iPad doesn't have that short coming and is a hell of a product.

By that AAPL Bretsky. Even at 400 it's a steal. It's going to hit 1k in the next few years. You can take that to the bank.


I found this thread when looking for a technology thread to tout how great of a laptop the 11" MacBook Air is. Has there ever been a better consumer laptop? It's inexpensive at 1k, easily around the same price as most other sub notebooks. It's build quality is much higher than just about everything else in this space. What casual user is going to choose the 7 lbs Dell over the 2 lbs MacBook Air? It's incredibly easy to present a story to the consumer that will have them jumping all over the MBA. So thin, yet powerful, and so elegant. This is the greatest notebook ever made. Without a doubt. Kudos to Jon Ivey for making the world beautiful. Who knew that someone who grew up wanting to design cars would drift so far out of that space and make such a huge impact in technology with his bleeding edge risky designs.

The GPU isn't too bad. It's good enough for entry level stuff and certainly the best intel GPU to come out yet. If you're not playing games or doing any sort of GPGPU computing, it's probably 100% fine. I would get the 4GB of ram, though, as the integrated GPU will use some of your memory.

I could see where it'd be the perfect machine for you with what you do and how much you seem to travel. Having said that, I believe you have an iPad for that role, and you really can't go wrong either way. I could definitely see wanting a beefier machine to compliment the iPad.

Well....I got my hands on a Air today and I have to say that I'm not impressed with the screen quality. The Pro just blows it away.

I'm going to look at something not made in a communist country as well....who manufactures outside of China these days? Fujitsu, Panasonic, Samsung maybe? Any of the Taiwanese companies? I know the greedy Americans have all sold out correct?

Are any of the screens manufactured outside of China these days?

[Freak Out]

Sure. Korea, Japan and the US have fabs....I think Korea has the highest yields though.

Here's my fundamental issue with buying AAPL long term. Its a company with fans which just screams bubble to me. As we all understand its not just enough to do well as a company, you have to exceed market expectations for your stock to blow up and AAPL holders are already out of control fanboys. I fear that their stock is like their products, way overpriced but people will still trade for it because its Apple. Eventually even the fanboys realize that this demand is artificial. Even worse is that if its not already overvalued by nature of its fanboy following its a lock to be a bubble eventually. Getting a good deal on anything Apple is like getting good odds on the Cowboys to win the superbowl. Way too many moron fans.

AAPL is moving upward on share pricing fundamentals. Anything that you look at from their financial reports pretty much screams for a much higher share price, including sitting on an estimated 60 billion in liquid cash reserves. But, like any company that produces relatively few products, if a major new product bombs in the market place their shares will take a beating.

I think AAPL is a stock that will return very nicely for the foreseeable future, but like any stock it has to be watched from quarter to quarter, and if they release a relatively weak financial report, take at least some of your profits and don't let them all dribble away.

Nothing is certain, ever.
