Especially with a 1080p display. If it had 2560×1440 then you are just paying roughly 1100 for those internals, but with this screen, you are paying a full 1600. What a rip off.

Some say battery life is worse. Some say its better. Don’t listen to them and try it for yourself. I’m running it on my gnexus and its perfectly fine.

I think he’s talking about the fact that both are a pull down shade from the top.

I think apple could have gotten away with it if you actually dragged the whole screen down and revealed notifications and Widgets behind it but it ended up being nearly identical in form and function.

Looks like the Web ui in fullscreen safari on osx.

That sounds way too good for the consumer. It would never fly.

A man can dream though…

Try emailing Google. Apparently they respond to your requests to clear your devices.

Sounds like you have one hell of an odd issue with your device that causes you to wipe and restore on such a frequent basis. Are you using a custom rom or stock because it sounds like you chose the wrong way to fix your device.

Internals could be different I assume. It shouldn’t affect updates if you know what you are doing. Cyanogenmod does a pretty good job and it supports many varying internal configurations.

I would say nearly any gaming laptop and certain Envy laptops could beat a Macbook Pro in performance. Gaming laptops are obviously not a one to one comparison due to their specific nature and awful battery life.

The best comparison we have had between Mac’s and PC’s has occurred since the introduction of the Ultrabook, in which case they can trade blows, depending on who reviews it:

An Intel Atom 1.6ghz dual core is equivalent to an Intel 1.6ghz ULV. That is what you are saying. Ill concentrate on other commenters I guess.

The differences used to be much larger when there were varying chipsets but since they have consolidated on chipsets series all from Intel or amd, the main difference when comparing the same chipsets has been features and stability which are equally important.

They compared it to the x100e which uses the athlon neo, one of the worst cpus ever made. Next.

All I’m saying is that such a blanket statement is invalid.

Show me a laptop that is equivalent across mac and pc being reviewed under the same conditions in windows and I will believe you.

As for desktops, I’m aware of the variation that is introduced with the varying motherboards, gpu manufacturer choice and memory speed. The motherboard choice can lead to negligible improvements, but the speed of the memory would be counted into the overall spec. Now prove that a truly equivalent mac is faster than an equivalent pc because I’m yet to see such proof.

Completely untrue. If they are specd the same they will perform the same within a margin of error. There is no magic being conjured in the Apple logo that makes equivalent hardware perform better.

Look up some reviews. Their prices are definitely high but reviews say they are worth it

Think of them as micro four thirds sized cameras with sensors that can even beat professional dslrs.

Personally I don’t care. If this calf weren’t used for its skin it would then be used for McDonalds meat. This is the reality of the world.

And at least Slinkskins is doing one better and collecting the dead to make use of it. It’s technically better than killing it for the same purpose.

Since its not out, isn’t that all a really popular thing that has not been released can be?

The A5 and A5x has a pretty decent GPU. Otherwise, its CPU performance trails other variants. The CPU is nothing special at all.

I don’t think there is a point to put a lot of effort in WP7 right now (except if you are Nokia who have no choice but to go all out with WP). The hardware they have to use cannot possibly allow them to justify a higher end cost. That will come with WP8.

Even the Lumia 900, which is most definitively better built and is “higher end” than this device, can command no more than 99 dollars, and that has probably a lot to do with how someone like AT&T can justify a higher price for a device that, according to their own spec sheet, is inferior to other high end devices they sell, even if they are merely specs that don’t matter in the end.

Nah. The 638 wins probably came from people who were prepared for the challenges and were able to compete on a level playing field.

Why is it too new? Its available for purchase. All they have to do is take some readings on it and be done with it.

Which are also old.

Huh? Super AMOLED Plus is used in every Galaxy S2 variant, which amounts to probably 30+ million phones.

Where’s the Oracle license buddy?

Too drab, lament reading.

Some hardware revision of the focus took an while to get mango.

The rumor is unfortunately out there. It’s up to Microsoft to squash those rumors before they lose more sales to them.

Also, there is an expectation a flagship phone released in March will get any os upgrade released within the year of its release.

Never understood the “freedom” of being able to go from carrier to carrier (well in the US case, from one carrier to the other and maybe some regional). Get the contract, make sure you choose a decent and free phone, sell it, then buy your unlocked device that you actually want. Rinse and repeat in 2 years.
