poop

it’s too large for the rear seats. put it in a s-class or a maybach or something.

i have an iMac just liek that! sweet freaking computer! I have had a Mac for the last 4 years and loved every minute of it. i will never go back to a PC. OXS > WINDOWS

What an ugly ass interior… awful. Maybe they should put these computers in the Buick or Cadillac. At least then nobody would yack all over the computer because the interior was so nasty

Kinda nice

p.s. why is my name standard set to “GM number1-4ever” ?

That car is already starved for rear seat room.

Snore.

Not News. Move along.

Yuck, that is awful. The Prius with the integrated Mac mini hooked into the touchscreen was cool – but this is just too big and ugly. Besides, how long do you think it is before some vandal pinches it?

I hate Mike, he is an ignorant twat

^^^ WTF? ^^^

looks like the mightily unstable Dean is back again…

wow, what a stupid/ugly idea.

Hey look – and over-priced car with an over-priced computer!

pwned…have you ever used a Mac extensivly? they are worth every penny

yeesh. That really is an ugly interior treatment. I like the concept, but bad execution. The standard CLS interior is so nice, why mess with it?

given I havent’ touched one in the last 5 years, but I have never met a mac I couldn’t crash in 15 minutes or less.

At least a PC on windoze makes it 6 months for me before I have to re-format.

Saying ‘my Mac is better than your PC’ is like saying ‘my 86 hyundai elantra is more reliable than your 86 yugo’ Both get you where you are going, but overall reliability still leaves MUCH to be desired.

Mac at least look better than PCs

Depends…. I have seen some pretty damned amazing custom boxes…

Mike will argue with anything you say, so don’t bother

Looks like Mike has had bad luck with Mac. I’ve had one now for five years+.
It has NEVER crashed or locked up. My G4’s and G5’s at work (3 total) have had the same seamless performance.

Mike, post 15, go into an Apple Store and try and crash a Mac. You admit you haven’t touched one in five years. While Windows has been using XP for the last five years, Apple has put Mac OS X through five major revisions since 2001. Seriously, go to the Apple Store and try to crash one, then e-mail me with your results.

Personally, I think freedom of virsuses, spyware, and adware is reason ALONE to use a Mac, but there are many other reasons beyond just that.

Wow Tosser, amazing insight. There is something called discussion. There is something else called personal opinion. Often times, grown ups like to “discuss” “personal opinion”.

cheers.

“Looks like Mike has had bad luck with Mac”
Never owned one, but I’ve used my fais share of them. Like I said, I haven’t been on one since 2001; however, I also prefer AMD over Intel so that is now a strike against them in my book.

Spanbauer:
I’m too lazy to go to the apple store… how’s about you just send me one of your to ‘try out’ for a year or two!

i have one of the new iMac, has the dual intel chips. I run Photoshop, Illustrator, Safari, iChat, and iTunes regularly at the same time and dont even see a hint of lock up. i have never met a single person who has used a Mac (not once or twice but actually used one) that went back to a PC. its like Yea…thats a nice Porsche but i think ill stick with my Cavalier. I have a Dell at work (im an graphic artist) and the thing is the big POS I have ever worked with! It couldn’t handle the programs I listed let alone Photoshop and Illustrator at the same time, and its brand new! Having to work on a PC makes me love my Mac so much more

oh yea and…. WIDGETS OWN YOU!

“I have a Dell at work”
that is the problem right there…

A well built PC can run graphic programs as good as a mac… AMD has some dual core chips out there that puts intel to shame (imo)…

We can all agree that Intel vs AMD, Mac vs PC, and Domestic vs Import are issues that will NEVER be settled, especially on these boards.

the only ppl that diss Mac are the ppl that havnt used them enough to understand there greatness.

Mike, you are correct in saying that those issues can never be settled, at least not when one person won’t budge on their position even after you prove every point they have to be incorrect. Five years from now, you still won’t have touched a Mac and you’ll continue to tell people how the last time you used one, it crashed in 15 minutes or less. I have no interest in convincing you to switch to a Mac, but would like to see an end to outdated and false information being spewed from the mouths of people who haven’t touched one in ages.

Your “well built PC” machines still run the same version of Windows as a Dell, so building your own custom machine isn’t going to magically make all of Windows issues go away, (viruses, spyware, adware, Windows constantly alerting me of something I don’t care about, poor user experience, etc). Regarding those AMD dual core chips that you feel put intel to shame, you may want to look into that. Especially take note of the Intel Core 2 Duo chips just released that will be finding their way into computers throughout August.

What good is a computer without internet access?

Jon.

What I want to see is someone posting comments to LLN.

I believe this website is designed on a Mac

#23: ss, you are right but since you have the option of booting Windblows XP on your machine, boot that, run the software from your Dell and see if it’s the operating system versus the hardware. That is a more fair evaluation of things.

Why in the CLS? I hate sitting in the back of the CLS…sure its better than most coupes, but still doesn’t feel comfortable after more than 15 mins!

Mike = ignorant tosser. Sod off, you wanker!

-he who stacks pork

Mattes obviously has a lot more money than he knows what to do with. More power to him, however. Don’t bother asking Mikey, he hates everything.

Mike hates everything you like and likes everything that you hate

B.t.w., GNU/Linux > Mac.

Don’t get me wrong I love Linux but it’s definately not ready for someone like my mom to try out. Case in point, apache is waaay easier to use on an Apple, you just click “Turn Websharing On.” (Actually that isn’t that great of an example…) And technically, Windows is owning both Apple and Linux in marketshare.
