   He's not. When I was looking for a laptop in 2010 because my second-hand   
   Dell finally died, I was open to just about anything. I went to the   
   local Future Shop and saw what the PC side had to offer. One was a   
   gaming machine with an AMD processor and AMD GPU, the other was an i3   
   Vaio with a Blu-Ray drive. Finally, I considered the latest MacBook Air   
   which had, in 2010, a Core 2 Duo, a DVD drive and half the RAM of the   
   previous two machines (2 GB vs 4 GB). If I remember correctly, it also   
   came with half the storage. Needless to say, Apple was a complete ripoff   
   considering they wanted the same amount of money as a more capable machine.

   I'm sure that he won't be able to since Joel Crump is a demon-possessed   
   simpleton. However, I remember what my own experience was.
