WRONG. Personal opinion always differs. I just said statistically speaking, most mac users are non geeks. This does NOT mean "all geeks find macs boring". Take a look at our forum member amitava82 for example. He is a geek and he likes a mac.
The real issue is that most people assume that a person intrested in computers automatically becomes a geek. Well, then those guys got the defination of geek WRONG. gopi_vbboy included. That caused all this confusion above. He should have used the word "computer enthusiasts" not "geek" and then the statement might have appeared more correct.

Not for it's geeky-ness.
OS X is the most rigid OS to tune/customize, unlike it's core.

BUT, the fact remains. Some geeks ARE intrested in macs. That was the original statement. It had nothing to do with the geekiness associated with a mac.Not for it's geeky-ness.

It is indeed the geeky ones who get Macs. A non-geek will generally just use a computer for the sake of using it. And the default computer that one get is a Windows based computer. A mac is bought by those who want more than Windows. They make a conscious decision to change to avoid getting a PC. Mac users are also more vocal than PC users. Best care scenario: Twitter is full of mac users, while facebook is clogged with PC users.
Of course, über geeks will go with Linux, and that's fine.
In any case, here's a comprehensive list of changes that the MacBooks bring to the table. Written by our very own Ashwin aka DrGrudge.

Ontopic: 75K for the new Macbook?? OMFG OMFG....
Offtopic: IMHO, there is no relation of the OS with the geekyness of a person.
Each and every Mac, Windows and Linux user can be a geek if he/she has the attitude of digging to the core of a particular thing. Infact I would agree, that some geeky people will definitely look out for options other than Windows like Linux but this isn't actually true. Even an ordinary person migrates from one OS to another.
And hell yeah, a geek has to be like a newbie and should have the intention of learning more, if he wants to become more geeky.....
And most of the people here are indirectly saying that Windows users are n00bs...lol......Vishal Gupta anyone?

Re-phrasing to the truth:
I can do without anything that Master Jobs wants me to do without.

Hey. Never said the backlit keyboard isn't a supercool feature. But I can do without it if I have to spend $300 extra on it. I'm not big on the CPU performance thing, cause I've never really needed that extra boost (heck, my 2.0Ghz Core Duo is still good enough). I guess I'll get a midrange MacBook by June or something. From the US of course

You can't really trust everything that the guy says. Especially stuff that he says on the IRC.
