- Is the New MacBook Expensive?†|†Technologizer – Harry McCracken concludes the new MacBooks, WHEN compared to Windows machines with the SAME SPECIFICATIONS, is about the same in cost.This is my experience. While my MacBook Pro cost a lot of cash, it was cheaper than an equivalent Dell, IBM, HP notebook. My view – Apple is offering premium product, with premium support and at premium price. I am good with that.
Corollary : Want a cheap product, with cheap support ? Buy a lower specification Dell / HP / IBM with Windows.
- SourceForge.net: Files – Point version release of Wireshark. There are no big fixes in this, but upgrade buffs may want to download it.
