what is the matter with this guy? He is seriously f'd up. Stick to Vista and shut the f up.

Fact is Apple is growing about as fast as they can and should at this point. Any faster, and there would likely be quality control and customer service issues. The number of lcomputers they are selling ths year vs. last year and the year before is remarkable. As for the new laptops, they are evolutionary as opposed to revolutionary(like the macbook air was), but thats when Apple excels. They do best when they constantly improve an already great product year after year. The latest imac had a similar upgrade and sales skyrocketed; expect the same now. I know a lot of people, me included whom have waited for this update to buy.

Dan, you continue to be the biggest ass hat of all time. WTF is wrong with you? You are not objective.

Re-runs are a bitch, but sometimes they are still the most watched. A has been innovation still beats a never was innovation. Apple's act is familiar but not yet worthy of contempt. Give them a break, they have earned a little slack time.

RE: "But if the company ever hopes to pick up big share of the overall market, it will have to do more than crank out incremental improvements on its laptops."

Apple is interested in selling the most easy to use, beautifully engineered products. If Apple wanted the most market share, it would be producing junk like Dell, Acer, etc. make.

A computer manufacturer can't introduce a "revolutionary" and "gamechanging" model every year.

No one, no one improves products like Apple.

By the way, Mr. Lyons, you haven't written anything revolutionary at all in your lifetime.

Newsweek, could you please get some writers to objectively cover Apple, instead of negatives-only hacks like Daniel Lyons and Brian Braiker? If you're going to write negatives, don't ignore the positives. If you're going to complain about their showmanship and slick presentation, also mention that Apple make terrific devices that are well-designed. Part of the problem may be that we've come to expect consumer tech miracles from Apple at every event, and when we don't get spectacular advances then hacks like Lyons revert to bash mode to create a more attention getting article. Sadly, it's not even thoughtful bashing! There are so many other things Lyons could have written about here, including some negatives: Apple's decision to drop Firewire 400 and what it might mean for DV using consumers, for instance, or Apple's proprietary new video adapter. Lyons could have even paid some positive attention to the minor miracle of the no button, multiple finger action trackpad. Apple leveraged their work on the iPhone interface to create a trackpad that functions as both pointer and click, and allows for triggering motions using up to four fingers. No other laptop manufacturer can touch that right now. Was this guy even present for the event, or did he just skim the web for a few clues? Seriously, Newsweek, can you get some better writers for these spots?

Apple is selling alot of products. That is all that really matters. However, I really like the design of their computers. They have a right to be proud and it sounds like they are.

Is Apple selling lots of computers and other products - YES!!! That is really all that matters. However, I really like the design of their computers. They have a right to be proud and it sounds as if they are proud - unashamedly/

I completely agree. Apple makes great products and this is a nice upgrade to their line. But there is nothing "amazing" here that warrants all the hoopla they try to create . But of course when Steve Jobs get on stage to announce anything it gets covered, snooze-fest or not. I was also pretty miffed last year when the last hoopla was made by Steve about the new iphone (which I own) and then we were told we'd have to wait months to get one. Er... wtf? Apple is great, but Daniel Lyons is quite right that they strain their innovative credibility when they try to make a big deal out of something that's not a big deal. Save Steve for when you're really got something cool to show us...

Sounds tough. Maybe, you'd like me to take your place for the next few "Apple Hype" events. I'd love to go! Just ask. Really! I would probably have a new perspective. I certainly would be objective and a new enthusiasm for Apple, might just be what you'd need to write your next article. Just call. I'm here to make your life less gloomy for you and turn all those rotten apples into bright red, sweet, cruchy, FRESH APPLES! I'll be waiting.

Was this author informed of writing on a non-biased position? Writing to both sides makes and article more convincing. This article sounds too negative and seems as if very little was put into writing it. The process to make these new MacBooks is highly innovative and interesting. Apple seems to set new standards every time they release new products. I think that it is possible that the PC market wishes that Dell or HP could put Apple to shame. It's good to have high hopes, but when they are shattered, writing with jealousy, doesn't help the issue. =P

Wow Mr. Lyons, you are not the brightest star are ya? Everyone knows that Apple is now taking games seriously. One missing factor, 3D acceleration for the masses. As a long time MS platform developer, I've often been in awe as to what Apple has been able to do with less then steller hardware. There OS runs just as smooth and nice as Window's 'Areo' w/out the need for a 3D accelerator chip and years before Vista ever came to market. I can hardly imagine what kind of performance increases we'll see now that there optimized software (READ: not fatware like M$) meets new hardware functionality. This is a big deal as Apple's offerings puts 3D in the hands of everyone setting there MacBook line into a new class of PCs apart from the Netbooks we see today that offer shabby graphic capabilities.

apple are for show offs., only if you like graphics and spend a lot of money

Wow - Apple announces a press conference to announce their new notebook line and all they do is announce "??? some upgraded notebooks." What a scam !
Could you please sound more negative and one-sided ? I don't know if everyone can understand where you're coming from.

This sounds kind of sour...and yes, cranky. Apple is the premier producer of beautiful designs and creative products, why would you want to write such a negative article just because you didn't find the new offerings to your liking. Criticism does not have to be mean-spirited. Are you aware that we need more not less new products for sale in the world market? Will someone serve this writer a slice of sweet apple pie?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Lyons You obviously have a bug up your ass with regard to Apple and a hard-on for SCO group. Therefore, reading your biased little rant is a total waste of time.
