some people who dish it out can't take it, who says apple is any different.

I hated them a few years ago...but now their laptops, desktops, and monitors....well you just can't compete with them for their price. That's why they are climbing the pile of PC brands. You basically pay more for individual components than you pay for Acer to build it for you. |
true I have the acer aspire 6930G. Bought it for 949$ from some site off of pricegrabber. One of the best laptops I've ever seen for the price. Here are the specs.

I can't stand using PCs, but I'm not gonna start attacking Microsoft as I know that different people need different things from their computers and different computers have different strengths. For example I have tried stop motion animation programmes on PCs but none of them hold a candle to iStopmotion for Mac. |
I do not hate Macs, but there is a certain type of owner I do.
From my experience there are two kinds of Apple owners, people who do reasearch and buy an Apple product because it meets their needs better then any other product and people who buy them as a social status/fashion item. Again, from my experience the later is 90+ percent of the market. So, if you are one of the people that buys Apple because it offers some unique value that makes it worth the price for you then I respect that and have no problem. It is the other 90 percent that piss me off. When there are people in the world that do not have the basics of food and shelter and you can afford to drop $2k on essentially fashion I think your values are seriously messed up.
Note that my ire is not reserved for people who buy Apple products, I get just as pissed off at the people driving around in giant $40k SUVs with one person in them or who live in houses with twice as many rooms as they need. It is all the same thing, wasting resources on social status that could be saving lives. The worst is so many of these people cry about how tight their budget is or how expensive gas is, grrrrrr.
And don't get me started on people that claim to be to busy to volunteer.
Sorry for the rant, but if you can't tell that struck a nerve :)

We're in the microsoft forum. Honestly, most people seem hung up on the expensive hardware (ignoring that apple laptops actually hold a decent resale value) and are ignoring the actual operating system that makes macs a good purchase. I get it, most people here won't buy a mac because it's a ripoff hardware wise and they are savvy enough to know you can get more elsewhere. If Apple was Nintendo people here would be cheerleading them for making such a healty profit on each computer sold. Oh noes, I guess apple isn't allowed to make a decent profit on their hardware.

Nintendo makes a profit on their hardware, but not a killing, and nothing above the other competitors who make money on their hardware (oh wait... there are none). In the PC world, all the other hardware manufacturers make a profit, while Apple tries to make a much larger profit on near identical hardware. I'd only complain about Nintendo making a profit on hardware if someone came out with an equal product and sold it for less, but Nintendo doesn't have a history of overcharging for their products.
Gotta love that 'Blu-Ray!' ad!

LOL. And for £5000 about $11,000, Ive seen a PC with 4 quad core CPU's (Intel Quad core Extreme QX9650, 4 ghZ air cooled). Yes 4. 32 gb pf 1066Mhz DDR3 Ram and 5 terrabytes of HDD space. Also it ran 2 SLI techs in their which is essentially 4 GPU. The motherboard is amazing. And for lees than the mac you list the PC absolutely picks up the MAc and destroys it using only it's pinky in terms of processing power. Apple sucks, as does it's pricing. Everyone has PC's and owning a PC makes sharing and gaming easier. |
Would you be talking about the latest Alienware PC 
?
Their latest laptop alone could outdo a Playstation 3 or a Xbox 360 in gaming. Probably combined.

That wouldn't be hard. A PS3 combined with a 360 would try to kill itself.
I'm kind of doubting Apple did exactly as the guy said.
Still, it's funny that Microsoft is firing back at Apple.
Nice. Keep on running those ads Microsoft. Fuck Apple.
