Thanks for highlighting my point. It's been ~2-3 years and they haven't. In fact, they updated the troubleshooting guide to correctly reflect how fucked you are.

I'd say that this was the beginning of the douche baggery, I simply responded in kind.
If you are going to come off as an asshole (with your smiley faces and "thanks for highlighting that" BS) while presenting out of date and irrelevant evidence, then I will nail you for it.

I'm not here to argue with you
Yes....how could I have mistaken your argument for an argument?
I was simply questioning your irrelevant evidence. Don't resort to name calling just because you didn't like it when I called you out for it.
You like Thinkpad's, which is fine. I like Mac's, which is also fine. If you want to criticize macs, then have something to criticize instead of outdated, irrelevant, bullshit articles that have nothing to do with the current product line. I emphasized the "new" because you obviously missed the F-ing memo on my first rebuttal.
For the record, I have never owned a Mac. I've used my gf's extensively, but have always been a pc owner and fan as well. Thinkpad's are awesome laptops and I love their keyboards, but I decided to go with a mac. Many PC lovers are critical of Macs and there are numerous, valid reasons why. However, a hinge problem is not one of them with the new line. You obviously are much more versed in knowledge of computers than I am, so i find it even more strange that you would choose the hinge problem to bring up. Even when I pointed out that that applied only to the old line and it was clear that the hinge issue did not apply now, you were resolute in your criticism. Then you took a healthy, respectful and lively debate and made it personal with the pretentious douche remark. How about we just stick to facts?

Oh and to keep the post on topic:
The mac version will be out long before exams are happening (deep breath mac users). Although I talked to the IT person at my school and she mentioned a bigger problem.
In her words (because I don't understand it): Lion has fundamentally changed the way in which a Mac "talks" to our servers. So, at the moment, macs cannot access anything besides the internet at the law school.
She did make it sound like the problem was fixable in the near future though.
