Yeah, one thing I would definitely say is the MacBook disk reader sucks balls. It stopped being able to write less than a year after I purchased it, and many people are having this problem; it's unreliable with reading as well. However you can buy a tough external reader/writter and link it with USB at very decent speed.
The new MacBook doesn't have an ethernet port by default, you have to pay extra, which I think is so idiotic that I wouldn't consider buying it right now.
That is very stupid, I don't get it how people can even buy crap like that.

If I answered this I might have to explain my logic, considering (depending on my answer) some of my past posts might be seen as a bit hypocritical.
To which I say:
If the thing made there is a leisure device that I can use in mirth, AND I don't have to hear their dialect, then I don't care. It's like the Web; plenty of people that I hold discussions with on the Web with fellows I could never bear talking with in real life, whether due to their dialect or due to something else.
More the reason why I love the Web, though. It allows for a more direct form of discussion. In other words, it allows people to say what they wish to say to others without fear that their gender, voice, and/or dialect will get in the way.
Unfortunately, that also means many human emotions do not translate very well to this medium either. Humour often is another thing that is VERY hard to translate to this medium. One usually has to use emoticons to mark uncertain implications in things, and even that fails to work at times.
But, anyways...
To answer the question at hand: Yes. I'm viewing this on an iPod Touch as we speak.

Reading Fakku on the iPad is much easier to read than the Macbook (pro) because it doesn't cut the page in half. Unlike the iPad,
with the Macbook (pro) you'll have to scroll down/forwards to read the full page.
Same goes for an iMac

I use my iphone/ipad for fakku when I get shitty wifi or I'm too lazy to use my computer. Works alright for the most part, but it has its bugs.
- logs you out after a while
- using apple products to type shit out is a bitch with auto-correct on (fuck that thing)
- site doesn't like teh apple products and has bugs here and there
Never had a macbook so I couldn't compare the two :/
Which one did you end up getting RanRan?

I've been using this MacBook Pro w/ Retina for half a year now (nonstop since I never power down) and it's been running pretty well. Only 5 crashes so far, but they were my all fault--forcing my MacBook to play games XD
Even as a long time Windows user (oh god, it's been over 20 years already), I have to hand it to Apple. Sure they take long with software updates and not as many things are Mac compatible, but once configured and/or running, it just works. It did take some getting used to the different operating system though.

Considering there are Wi-Fi hotspots everywhere (including the one from my phone), I tend not to use an ethernet cable to connect. Not to mention both my phone and MacBook Pro use wireless AC which is considerably faster than most people's land connection.
And what did you mean by the prices of MacBooks skyrocketing? They went down considerably since I purchased mine--almost to the point where I regret buying so soon. The current lower tier models are up to par with the mid-range builds from only 6 months earlier as they all received upgrades and price cuts in July.

I have a MacBook retina and a iPad mini retina.
They both work fine with fakku and other web browsing.
I use google chrome on both, mainly because it's smoother then the safari browser.
The thing about apple is, you either love it or hate it.
I find the quality better then all the other laptops I had and I had a few(private and work related)
I also used it for gaming, the MacBook, since steam has added support for the Mac, more and more publishers are making their games available on this platform.
The other options is to use boot camp in combination with win7.

a MacBook is much like a Xubuntu or Lubuntu laptop the interface is the same, the terminal is actually more user friendly in the Xubuntu flavor than in Macs, and really a Mac is a love it or hate it device same with the Linux but Lubuntu looks like windows works like windows, and once you install the latest build of WINE runs windows programs without a problem most of the time similar to installing WINE onto a MacBook to this if it would have one in Lubutu and/or Xubuntu it would have the same one in a Mac. They are both Debain based I think Ubuntu and Mac I mean and Xubuntu and Lubuntu are just interface changes for the most part form Ubuntu. Ubuntu in my mind has a horrible interface while Xubuntu and Lubuntu look like Mac and Windows 7 respectfully just are Linux not Mac nor Windows.
Apple products are not inherently bad just they are no better than non-Apple devices now either sometimes even worse.
