I like Apple as an investment stock or trading stock but as a
product its always had its head up its arse if you ask me.

Just checked the price points and offerings for laptops and IPADs
and I really cant believe that folks prefer the no keyboard IPAD to
a laptop with a keyboard. I mean if you are always mobile than
maybe but the laptop in my mind is still the way to go.

So at comparable prices for Apple and HP based products you have an
Apple laptop with only 800 Mhz chip compared to 2 Ghz for an HP
laptop, for memory you have DDRAM 2 instead of 3 for the HP laptop
and less of it as well. HDD space you only are offered 80 GB
versus 500 GB for the HP PC laptop, Apple you have to purchase
refurbished while its brand new for the HP Laptop.

I cant believe I am the only one to notice this. I will buy Apple
stock for the appreciation potential, but the products themselves it
will be the laptop and it will be the HP. Plain and Simple.

As an afterthought the only way I can be convinced away from the
laptop and onto the IPAD 2 is if the phone access to the internet
features outweighs the need for the keyboard and 17 inch screen
with loads of RAM and HDD space.
