Well I only bought one to be in the "in" crowd. It's actually the worst computer I've ever used and takes me hours to get anything done. But I suffer just so that I can be trendy :/

Am I being downmodded because my sarcasm wasn't obvious enough?... Or just that it wasn't funny? :/

I disagree with what you said. If it was sarcasm, it was far too dry for me to pick up on it.
And, quite frankly, I usually downmod reddit and slashdot style jokes and puns because I want to help maintain the quality of comments here. I believe that if we "punish" people for behaving like that, they'll either leave or start submitting relevant and useful comments; either of which I fully support.
Point taken, although I think the original article with its title of "Are macbooks just trendy", was already so idiotic as to not really merit any serious response.
Shame there is no downmod for articles IMHO.
