All laptops are crap except for the new MacBooks

And I'll tell you why. Mouse buttons. I'm not an Apple fanboy, I replaced OSX with Linux on my Macbook Pro, and I think pretty much all Apple products that aren't a Laptop, Desktop, or peripheral thereof, are rubbish. Take the iPhone for example. Where's the cut and paste? I know, most people say no one ever uses cut and paste on a phone, but I used it just this morning on mine, and that's not a lie. It saved me at least 10 seconds worth of typing. How hard could it be to put it in? Thanks Apple, you fucked me on that one, so I won't buy your stupid phone.
But back to my point. Put a multitouch trackpad on a laptop and the buttons become pretty much useless. In fact, they just get in the way of more trackpad. To click, I tap the touchpad. To right click, I tap the touchpad with two fingers. And yes, you guesed it, to middle click, I tap the touchpad with two fingers and the tip of my wang. Even more awesome is the two finger scroll, Google it, I'm too lazy to explain it. Also, they look ten times better than your mum when she was 18. Hopefully they run Linux as nicely as my Santa Rosa MacBook Pro, because if they do, my profesional opinion is that everyone should buy one and replace the current honky-ass OSX with a decent Linux Distro like Ubuntu.
Here it is, you better have tissues handy before this link is clicked.
