I just got this windows PC. Check out all these features:

Notepad, for simple text editing.
Wordpad, for more complex text editing.
Calculator, do math and stuff.
Paint, draw stuff. Photo editing!
Windows Live Mail, need I saw more?
Windows Live Messenger, talk with friends
Windows Live Moviemaker, film your cat.
Windows Live Photo Gallery, see pictures of your cat.
Internet Explorer, only the greatest browser ever.
Windows DVD Maker, copy your crap on dvds.
Sound Recorder, record yourself praising windows.
Math Input Pad. Input complex equations and stuff.
Bored? Play games! With:Freecell, Hearts, Chess, Solitaire, Minesweeper, Mahjong Titans, Spider Solitaire.

Seriously Mackies, get over yourself. Anything you think is "the greatest thing ever" that comes as standard bloatware on your mac, it's likely included with Windows, or something comparable is readily available for download.
You're not special for owning a mac, you're not morally superior, you likely just fell for the monster cable scam.

Two sites? Wow, that really shows that Mac viruses are just as likely and damaging as Windows viruses. Come on!

Didn't you say Mac doesn't get virus at all?

I thought their US mfgr operations were all gone. The customer service is all in India but the factories are here? Well, I will have to check Dell out again. Thank you.

Trolling. +D

COUPON? What coupon???

I wish people would post some constructive details or comments regarding the product being sold. I think this is more like a spaz blog than a community.

Not even a refurb! Anvilania!!

Will this work with my Mac?

If I use something requiring the GPS then it empties the battery in 3 hours, otherwise the battery lasts all day with heavy usage of email & phone & web.

etc.......

Some of those aren't fair comparisons just because they serve totally different functions (nothing to do with me wanting to say one side is better than the other).

For example:

Paint is for, well, the electronic equivalent of finger painting. Its functions are mostly unrelated to what iPhoto does.
iPhoto is for image organization and management as well as basic photo editing (all-around adjustments, a few special effects, red-eye removal, cropping, etc. - NOT pro tools, but if you are just taking snapshots on your point-and-shoot, it's a great piece of software).

Edited to add: Some things you *could* compare to iPhoto are things like Picasa, Windows Live Photo Editor, etc.

Wish I had the coin to drop on one of these. They are phenomenal machines.

So happy that I got my very first Bag of Cannola today!! Felt like I won the lottery! WOOT!!!

There are free software out there and can come preloaded that's the point.

Congratulations!

Now THAT is funny!

Hmmm. Seem to be stuck at 40%. More Google-fu?

That's how I feel. It's a great feeling....

I remember when woot folk used to be cool. When did you all turn in to Apple haters? I blame the Republicans.

If only I could get this in Laptop form, which I really need for this upcoming semester (yeah, they are actually requiring me to have a macbook pro).

Why do Mac fanboys brag so much about no viruses? The only reason why there are no viruses for Mac is because virtually nobody uses them, so nobody goes to the trouble of creating a virus for it. It's as if you brag that your Ford is will never get hit by a meteorite, it's a true but pointless argument.

Meanwhile, has anybody ever heard of resident antivirus software? It's a pretty neat thing, it catches any virus before they infect your machine, you know? I've been virus-free for longer than I can recall all the while I visit some of the scummiest websites around and often plug students' flash drives laden with a whole fauna of viruses from college computers.

Seriously, if you're going to brag about a Mac, do it for the design of the ego boost, not for the lack of viruses.

I don't hate Apple......just like getting a good device in my budget. If I had cash to toss in the air I would get Apple.

I paid $1500 a few years ago on Woot for a Samsung front-load washer and dryer. Pretty impressed that they still delivered it for $5.

Hands down amazing product for a great price, esp brand new. All you Apple haters have to stop being jealous about the fact that you couldn't start a great company such as this one.

pernst wrote:I remember when woot folk used to be cool. When did you all turn in to Apple haters? I blame the Republicans.

Not a Apple hater. Just don't like the fact that Apple user think it's superior to PC. Use to own a iPhone also, but switch to DROID 4G. Apple make good product, but price is bit much compare to other products.

Perfect for the 1% Wooter!

supra441979 wrote:There are free software out there and can come preloaded that's the point.

Sure. It depends what option meets your needs and/or doesn't frustrate you. I have never had great luck with Picasa and other free tools; I prefer iPhoto as a basic photo tool (with pro software for needs beyond that).

On the other hand, I would never recommend Pages over MS Word. The latter tool does the job better with less hassle.

I'm not proselytizing, just sharing my experience that I've always had pleasant experiences with the preloaded Mac software. There are plenty of other things that might be negative about a Mac, and there are some people who would be perfectly satisfied with free or inexpensive non-Apple alternatives, but for me the preloaded Apple media software adds value.

Will someone buy the other two so we can get on with this?

Ya I have not seen any coupons in a very long time.

He's not trashing Apple, he is just stating an opinion...which is shared by many. Cry about it. :P

So that must mean they will have charging ports for you to use.... You could always strap this down and carry it to class.

Lolz. It is fun to watch apple fans become annoyed

Booorrraaaahahahaha!! I have a G3 tower about 15 years old, a lamp iMac, 8 years old, a 24" iMac, 5 years old, a powerbook, 4 years old, and just bought a MacBook Pro, all ARE WORKING, which is more than I can say for a PC laptop that I bought that lasted 10 months......

As for all that you got with your PC, I see nothing I would want to use, just fluff....unexciting...

They need to put up the next woot already. How long can in really take to sell 30 macs?

Bought this a few weeks when it was up on a Saturday. LOVE it! The screen is huge and has amazing clarity, and the mouse is badass!
It was a much needed up grade from my 2008 model MacBook.

The best Woot buy I've made yet!
