Touch screen laptops will become a very big thing. Everybody who gets one likes them more than a regular laptop and doesn't want a regular laptop after that. These will also take sales away from iPads and tablets in general. Touch screen laptops …

Chromebooks are a success for Intel. This category is really taking off, doubling every year. For now it is good for them but Acer, the Chromebook King, now offers more models with Nvidia chips than Intel chips as of this year. The Intel Haswell chi…

Many people seem to be disappointed. This is par for the course with the Mac Mini since 2008. How many disappointments will you take before switching away from OS X? I don't expect anybody to go back to Windoz. What about GNU/Linux or BSD? You can…

Is this company continuing to produce its product right now? If not, how long until Apple can get control of it and produce more sapphire screens? This huge delay could be very disruptive to production. How much value has Apple received from this co…
