Dvorak: My son bought a MacBook Pro; If I was buying a new laptop this minute, I’d get one, too

MacBook Aluminum Closeout“It was a somber day for the Dvorak family recently when my son switched to the Mac, likely never to return to the PC. I saw this coming. The family flag is flying at half mast,” John C. Dvorak writes for PC Magazine. “‘He didn’t want to tell you because he was afraid you’d get mad and talk him out of it,’ said my wife on a dreary Washington state morning. ‘What? I wouldn’t talk him out of it!’ I retorted as I gritted my teeth.”

MacDailyNews Take: Never mind that Mr. I’ll-Write-Anything-For-a-Nickel wrote back on July 25, 2007, “Oh horrors. Dvorak is using a Mac… I have noticed that I’ve been recommending the machine to friends and neighbors when they want to know what kind of system they should buy.” What we wrote in response back then stands today, “We post this article at the request of too many readers to mention individually, not because Dvorak’s opinion of the Mac matters a whit… Nobody should care what the irrelevant hit-whore Dvorak thinks about the Mac. Positive or negative, he has no credibility or integrity; he’s just trolling for page views, as usual.”

Dvorak continues, “Anyway, he ended up with a new MacBook Pro, one of the few laptops being sold that actually impresses me. It’s got that hard aluminum unibody that makes the thing feel like a rock. There is none of the flexing and bending of a typical laptop.”

“Apple had added multi-touch, developed for the iPhone, to the track pad. Two fingers on the pad and you can do all sorts of fancy moves that are slick and interesting. The display is gorgeous and crisp,” Dvorak writes. “All these whiz-bang features make me realize that I have fallen behind.”

MacDailyNews Take: Fallen behind, of course, if the amnestic gasbag hadn’t admitted in print, two years ago in the same exact publication, that he’d already switched to a Mac. John writes as if there is no history of his scribblings; no video tape of his admissions of deceit.

Dvorak continues, “He pulled the trigger and got it for $1,050 with a free iPod thrown in. If I was going to buy a machine this minute, it would probably be what I’d get, too.”

MacDailyNews Take: And, next week, the bloated hit-whoring blowhard will make up something else in yet another weak and rather pathetic attempt to yank enough chains to generate some visits to PC Magazine’s website to load their ads from PC box assemblers peddling inferior hardware loaded with Microsoft’s piece of crap upside-down and backwards wannabe Mac OS.
