It's getting a little bit predictable, but Apple has reported yet another stellar set of quarterly financial results. The company has sold more Macs and iPhones than the same quarter last year, but sales of the iPod were down compared to the same quarter last year. Profits and gross-margins were also up.

For a "power user" Apple may not be cost effective. However, the user experience is miles beyond the Windows laptop experience. Miles.
I am definitely a power user. Yet, I love my Mac Powerbook. I did convince work to buy it so it isn't my own money.
Everything just works in a way a Sony Vaio doesn't.
And if you've ever observed or been asked to help a regular person who knows nothing about computers, you can see the "PC Experience" is a nightmare. They don't have any idea what is safe to click on in a web browser. They don't know what applications to install to read a PDF file (I know a woman who paid for the full Adobe PDF authoring suite so she could read PDFs because of some lousy popup window). They have no idea what to do when all the great "software" installed on the computer turns out to be 30-day demos. They never install critical software updates because they have no idea those are any different from the web browser popups they've been told to not click on or the ad-ware popups that come pre-installed on the system.
An Apple is so much easier.
