I have the 15.4" Intel Core 2 Duo w/ 2GB RAM & 200GB HD. The Core 2 Duo's stay much cooler. I don't think that you should feel that you over paid. They are great laptops, you could have saved a little if you choose the white over the black, but the black looks really good. I would have got the MacBook, but I wanted a dedicated video card, I use Aperture & CS2. Plus with Apple switching to Intel, we can run any app that Windows can run, so it's like two computers in one.

Im probably going to get flamed for this, but Ill do it anyways.
And you think an Acura is pure luxury? Maybe for Acura/Honda standards & for its price.. (which even in the Acura would, I stretch that considering the RL is so sweet.) To say your TSX ISNT an EconoBox is silly in my opinion... Is Acura not a more expensive Honda? There is no difference.. Why did we get a TSX instead of a Honda Civic or such? Cause we liked the TSX better.. Sure, maybe someday Wed like to *pimp* it out, etc, when I have time & money to use it as a show car. Not cause it can be super fast like a corvette (which is possible with enough time & dollars I imagine) but cause its a good solid platform.. But, for right now I use it for ECONOMY! Nothing else. 100 miles a day, 25-30MPG. Nothing else You flame people for buying an Altima for 34K when you can get it for 17K base? Well what about this:

You can actually do a lot of changes with Mac's OS X, it's just a different process.
As for running Windows Apps,
If you google Apple Bootcamp or Apple Parallels, you will see what can be done.
Bootcamp allows you to choose to boot either OS X or Windows XP, and Parrallels allows you to run Windows XP , Vista, 2000, Me, 98, 95, 3.11, DOS, Linux, or OS2/Warp. At the same time that OS X is running, and if you have two displays, you can have OS X running on one and any of the other OS's running on the other.

Well iTSX07, after all that, I certainly get what you were originally saying. The thing everyone has to realize is that the TSX has a solid blend of virtues, and we all definitely take what we want from it. Its an economy car at times, its luxury at times, its sporty at times, etc.
In contrast, those who favor another car or just plain hate the TSX use its "jack of all trades, master at none" characteristics against it, especially now that its design is 4-5 years old.

My point is by buying the top end of a particular model, your car will typically adjust down to the lower end of that model, when it comes to resale. That is one of the reason I choose Acura, because typically the only option is Navi, that could be changing if all the models go the way of the RL with different levels.
Just some food for thought.

I got so excited when they finally offered the 6MT in an Accord EX V6 (non-coupe) this year -- it's basically the same transmission as in the TSX, albeit different ratios.
Tried as I might, I couldn't get past the car's appearance -- although the rear-quarter perspective is dramatically better with the recent face-lift. It's more nose heavy than the TSX is and also wallows on curves by comparison.

Luckily, acura was smart enough to sell the Accord the rest of the world prefers, and added a bunch of goodies to it.

Me too, When I first bought my 04 Accord EX in December of '03, I did it more out of loyalty to the Honda brand ( I really like Honda Products, wether it's the Honda, Acura or even there mowers). So at first I thought it was the 4 Cylinder engine with my '04, so in April '05 I decided to trade in on a Accord Ex V6 w/Navi. After a few months, I realized that it was the style of the outside, not so much the front, but the back. It looked like a old school Buick, and the inside fit & finish was a little disappointing, especially the top center dash, the panels just never lined up nice. By the way I loved the V6 though, it was very smooth and powerful for my needs. So that is when I decided to go with the TSX, I like the smaller size, and the fit and finish just seemed better. Also since the TSX Sticker was only around $2k more then the Accord V6 with Navi, and with the Acura you typically get better service then going to the Honda dealership.
To reference one of my previous post about resale value, I did see a difference in my 4cyl Accord vs 6cyl Accord, my 4cyl held its value better.

People in the market for an Acura aren't out to save money, nor are they looking for maximum everything for under $30,000. If they were, they'd get a Honda or a Volkswagen, etc.
People buy the more "upscale" performance/luxury brand for exclusivity and ambience. I like the fact that my TSX isn't the most popular car in the country. I like the smaller feel of the Acura dealer and the more personal attention I get from every department in their building. On the other hand, I think the TSX is especially good looking and I admire it conceptually and practically. For comparison, the Accord doesn't visually appeal to me in the least bit, and its chassis is too soft. The TSX strikes a nearly perfect balance--which is something that requires a little extra time to engineer--and time is money (to a certain extent).

the accord just didnt ride as nice to me. the leather in the accord seemed cheaper, and the seats were less comfy. i havent kept up on the 2007 models though.

Yeah, Like I said the '04 was better then the '05, the '04 I broke even, the '05 I was about $3k off. Were someone else might invest that in mods, I usually put it towards a new car. But I am really happy with my TSX, I look forward to driving it every day, so I may keep this one for awhile....... Or until I see the '09.

I think Acura has the best bang for the buck deal for its entry level into luxury class. While all the Europeans and Lexus... infitniti or other luxury manufacturer offer these 1-4 level packages, Acura has a great value which you get everything for that sticker. (of course, you can add spoiler, navi and other features. But I'm just talking about basic leather, sunroof, stuff like that) TSX isn't a 30k car. It's high 20's. Some people see it as poor man's way of getting into entry luxury level and some may think it's great deal for its dollar.

This is the reason why the TL and TSX sell so well...they DO give maximum everything for their respective price point.
When Paris Hilton buys a TSX, then I'll agree with you.

Now, if we're talking about an "in class" comparison, then yes--I've always said how the Acura lineup is a much better value than what you can get from BMW, Lexus, and even Audi.

As damn stupid as it sounds, it's true, the average consumer doesn't even know about 5% of the stuff that people talk about on car forums. They, like me, rely heavily on aesthetics because they don't really know (or care) what's going on under the hood of a car other than the basics. I pretty much got the TSX because of the statement I bolded above.
I agree with the power of perception. It's easier to go with what you perceive rather than learn about things that may be hard to understand. Something that looks good is much easier to understand than something that works well or is engineered well.
The TSX has the best combination of great design, superior engineering, excellent quality, high resale value, standard equipment, value, comfort and luxury, handling, performance with some snob appeal thrown in if you like that kind of thing which after owning my TSX for a few months, I actually enjoy more than I thought I would.

With all the standard features that our cars possess, none of the rival companies can even compare to what we have. Features like HID headlights, BlueTooth, memory seating etc. aren't even standard options on a car like the Mercedes C-Class, Lexus IS, and the BMW. I have been ridiculed before for purchasing a 30k "Honda." I was told "how come you didn't just get a BMW or a Mercedes?" Not to knock on those car companies but some people are more into "status." I chose this car because it had everything i wanted at a wonderfully affordable price.
Ex. My cousin bought a 2006 MBZ C-230 for 35k. He didn't have handsfree Bluetooth nor heated seats. His passenger seat didn't have motorized seat adjusters. All the things he didn't have I had and he paid 35k. Go figure!

Maybe people who need status are compensating for not knowing what true quality and good value is. It's too bad they don't have enough brain cells to figure these things out, but instead resort to criticizing others who can figure these things out. I don't have a problem with people buying BMWs or Benzes, but for anyone to think they made a better decision based on status and perception is severely disillusioned. Basically if you have money to throw around and you like what the car offers, by all means purchase what you like.

I don't own a TSX and I dont' come here to be a "poser." Maybe you have the wrong impression of this message board. I've observed that there are great car enthusiast that comes on this board, doesn't matter what you own. Or do I have the wrong perception here and need to get the hell off the TSX board since I don't own one?
People like you or message like this is the reason why other people would come here to bash on TSX. Every car has pros and cons and different fit for different people. I didn't like TSX because I wasn't going to spend 30k on a 4banger sedan. TSX is a great for people who doesn't need so much power everyday. It's a great entry level luxury sedan with nice features. That just wasn't for me and I didn't end up buying one. Don't sit here and call people out for not owning TSX. It just shows your stupidity and ignorance. Why are you sitting here bashing on WRX, STI, EVO, Altimas? Yes, they will just say "that's great, so can you even catch up to read my license plate?" probably not. TSX is slower and less performance car than any of those cars. I don't even see Honda advertising or comparing against these cars.
Please get off of your "soap box" and think before you "rant". So... you had 04 accord 4cyl, 05 accord v6 ex navi, MDX, and TL-S? something tells me you're not so smart with your money or you're just full of s.

I didn't like TSX because I wasn't going to spend 30k on a 4banger sedan. TSX is a great for people who doesn't need so much power everyday. It's a great entry level luxury sedan with nice features. That just wasn't for me and I didn't end up buying one. Don't sit here and call people out for not owning TSX. It just shows your stupidity and ignorance. Why are you sitting here bashing on WRX, STI, EVO, Altimas? Yes, they will just say "that's great, so can you even catch up to read my license plate?" probably not. TSX is slower and less performance car than any of those cars. I don't even see Honda advertising or comparing against these cars.
Please get off of your "soap box" and think before you "rant". So... you had 04 accord 4cyl, 05 accord v6 ex navi, MDX, and TL-S? something tells me you're not so smart with your money or you're just full of s.

After a few months, I realized that it was the style of the outside, not so much the front, but the back. It looked like a old school Buick, and the inside fit & finish was a little disappointing, especially the top center dash, the panels just never lined up nice. By the way I loved the V6 though, it was very smooth and powerful for my needs. So that is when I decided to go with the TSX, I like the smaller size, and the fit and finish just seemed better. Also since the TSX Sticker was only around $2k more then the Accord V6 with Navi, and with the Acura you typically get better service then going to the Honda dealership.
To reference one of my previous post about resale value, I did see a difference in my 4cyl Accord vs 6cyl Accord, my 4cyl held its value better.
