I totally agree with everyones points about cars etc being status symbols. I myself have fallen victim to these marketing ploys many times and probably will again.
My point is is that Apple products are overated and their social status is what helps them sell, not how technically superior they are or how they run so much better.
I live in Asia and the amount of available Japanese, Korean and Chinese gadgets similar to the ipod or ipad, which are normally half the price with better specs and bigger hardrives is copious. And Im not referring to cheap copies of which there are many of them too lol
The macbook airs as I recall dont even have a cd/dvd drive.
Like I say I have a mac and it is good but not worth the money I paid for it, no way.
