"Hip and trendy" is a phrasal adjective, so my usage was correct. And "more" as an adjectival modifier is also appropriate.
Writing long-winded blurbs on the internet to make yourself look intelligent only works in certain company.
But when using adjectives in a comparative/superlative fashion, you use -er/-est with those adjectives. So for proper form, you'd have your thread's sentence read:
Hating Apple is hipper and trendier than liking them.
The case is nice
Ah, so you acknowledge there is a difference!
If you don't care that the Apple laptop is 30% thinner and lighter than the competitor's, or has a battery that lasts 50% longer, or has 20% better color saturation, or is 6dB quieter, or 10 degrees cooler, then don't buy one. An HP is good enough for you.
So wouldn't that be a problem with Nvidia and not Apple? Or were you expecting them to perform some magic that prevents parts from another manufacturer from failing?
I don't care about thinner
Not to mention, the mbp has a better touchpad than 95% of laptops. I interact with the touchpad a lot and am astonished how cheap a touchpad most laptops use.
Look chucklebunny, I have a early 2011 15" MBP sitting in front of me. I have also had computers die on me because of the nvidia problem (2 Everexes and an HP), same shit, different day. This is the problem with people like you, you'd think that the Holy Seed of Steve Jobs were wrung out from his used condoms and sprinkled on every computer Apple made with the way you guys think the hardware is built.
The case is nice, the rest of the computer rolls off of the same Foxconn lines as every other computer manufacturer's computers. The workers who suicide in their factories probably work on HP and Apple parts all day.
2011 MacBook Pro and Discrete Graphics Card, those still covered under AppleCare were able to lug their afflicted MacBooks to a Genius Bar and drop them off to have the laptops logic board replaced
Forgot about this. I don't know any no other company can make a decent track pad.
I think for things like this, it's because the engineers fail to really test it out and try to tweak things until it's perfect. They have too many "yes men" and no one to actually say "hey, this thing is crap, fix it". That's why they keep tossing products out, using consumers and guinea pigs to see which one really sticks. They then only fix the issues with future models so consumers are usually SOL. Apple focuses on fewer products and models for each one so that probably makes all the difference in the world which will give consumers the best user experience. For me, that's why I opted for a MBP over others because the complete user experience from packaging to usability has been good for me. I even love the magnetic power connector...how could anyone say some other laptop that has the typical male end plug actually say it's better than ...oh they don't, they just say how it was cheaper and similar specs.
It can't be that hard to make a trackpad that works as good as Apple's, especially one that doesn't require software/drivers that the user must tweak to make it work as good as it can for them. I'm looking at you Synaptics.
Apples trackpad is only that good on osx. Try using it in parallels with Windows xp or 7 and the trackpad is shit. It's definately in the drivers built into osx.

didn't apple dump their proprietary Motorola chip sets and now us x86 technology?? The only thing that's apple about apple is the OS.
Stereotypes about Apple users are no more than projection by computer nerds insecure in their own purchases.
In other words you are butthurt because you purchased one particular model that happened to have sporadic GPU failures and failed to purchase Applecare coverage that any moron who is spending a couple thousand dollars for a computer would/should be able to afford. Furthermore it cots $500 to replace your board, you should do that. Why? because that's the risk you take if you opt out of warranties and such that would have it repaired.
like I mentioned, every company out there has certain models from time to time that just fail. Yet Apple still has fewer returns than many other OEM's and it doesn't mean newer models from Apple will have the same issue...which they don't. But similar will happen again one day, it does for every product maker. You're making it into an issue of fanbois when really it's an issue that every consumer of products regardless of brands may have to face.
So instead you'll probably opt out to spend $500 to fix it and rather spend whatever for a new HP or something and STILL not bother to get a warranty of some kind....real smart.
So now you'll probably troll respond about how you purchased Applecare and they said screw you isn't that right? That or some other excuse. Just man up and pay the stupid $500 for a new board, that's pretty much what everyone else is doing if you researched through the complaints.
Also, British based GPA will also fix your MBP as an alternative to Apple.
Okay then, you don't care! So a budget laptop might be more up your alley.
I bet you're one of those guys who worries about an LCD TV being thinner or lighter when comparing them to plasmas, rather than whether the actually produce a better picture.
Superficial.
If you don't care that the Apple laptop is 30% thinner and lighter than the competitor's, or has a battery that lasts 50% longer, or has 20% better color saturation, or is 6dB quieter, or 10 degrees cooler, then don't buy one. An HP is good enough for you.
Boy, you really are a moron.
1. *early* 2011 macbook pros. This means that even under applecare they are starting to fall outside of the warranty. Luckily I am within the AC period and have had my logic board replaced *three* times. Mine expires Monday, now, luckily I am within the 90-day refurb period.
2. The logic board replacement doesn't fix the problem, the entire GPU must be replaced with a reball
3. Even with a complete GPU and reball people are still having them fail.
Is there something you do not get about this? Need me to draw stick figures?
Lol, then wtf are you complaining about? You purchased one MBP that just happened to end up getting hardware issues that none of the other models had and now you keep saying how lucky you are to be within AC period while still griping about how Apple sucks. Applecare lasts 3 years. That's not bad, I don't know how you think any other OEM support will really be any better because as I mentioned before, all product producing companies will have problems at some point and often with worse support.
I guess simple comparisons are beyond a fanboi's ability to comprehend.
