It more amazing when those machintrash think that their system are better because it builds for graphics but when it comes to GAMMING they're just a bunch on over-priced box that could display much of a decent graphics. Ask me how I know... Made the BIGGEST mistake of my life and bought one of this crap and attempt to play game on it and do some 3D rendering with it then I learned really quick what mac really stand for is ROTTEN APPLE!

MANY OF THE PEOPLE QUEUING TO BUY THEM WILL BE PISSED OFF WHEN THEY FIND OUT WHAT CRAP THEYVE BOUGHT AND WHEN THEY SEE NO ONE IS IMPRESSED BY THEM are any of these i-diots in the queues payed by apple to stand there or are they just sad and stupid?

The only real reason to do it is to get your name and picture printed in newspapers and on websites around the world” Naw, it’s good fun if you’re an Apple fan like me. You get to hang out with other people who like Apple as much as you. Plus, free food and, as you say, talking to journalists. All that kinda pales in comparison to the welcome the Apple Store employees gave us though. When the doors opened, they all packed the ground floor, cheering, applauding and high-fiving us inside; then doubly so as we came back down the stairs with our iPhones. Sure, it’s silly, but it’s amazing fun: like going to a movie premiere, when you’re in the movie. I wouldn’t have gotten that on Monday. > “queuing seems like a bit of a pointless exercise.
