1) Toshiba laptops have horrible build quality. I bought a toshiba laptop that has the specs to play Crysis on decent settings, but overheats and turns off after 20 mins of L4D2 on lowest, or about 2 hours of WoW on lowest playable settings. Those times are when it is on an elevated stand to allow proper airflow, divide those times by about 5 for a flat wooden surface and divide by 10 for a soft surface like a bed. If you want to buy a cheap laptop, then that is your choice, and it may well be the best thing for you. But you should not compare Apple computers to Acer, Toshiba etc.
2) Buying an Apple computer gets you the Apple OS, which many people consider to be worth hundreds, indeed, I think a few hundred is nothing to pay for something that saves you so much time and hassle.
Just because other people have different personal taste and preferences to you doesn't mean they got ripped off. |
1) i know someone whose iphone broke....does it mean all of them will? no.
i love it how every apple fan assumes anything not built by apple will just fall apart. apple products are not immune to defects just like any other hardware. just because your toshiba laptop broke, it doesnt mean mine will.
2) many people consider windows to be worth hundreds, windows saves me a lot of time and hassle too because its easy and when i buy/download stuff it will run on windows by default, i dont need to look specifically at games/software compatability. if you use a GUI to justify spending hundreds more on apple then you did get ripped off.
you got any real reasons why apple is worth the premium?
