I don't know one person that owns an iPhone or Mac that is tech savvy, and I know a lot of people with both.

It's not ignorant, with the amount of iPhone sales, a device aimed at users who want a simple experience, a majority of those people won't know about specs and such.

That can be reiterated to apply to a majority of Apple products, since they aim at the majortiy of the market - the people who aren't tech savvy. That strategy (of Apple) dates back to the Apple II and continues to this day.

Im sure this site holds quite a few. Its not like I came to the conclusion of buying an apple just because I wanted to be cool, its because I had hated the quality of my past 2 computers, and after talking with people who owned macs nobody had anything bad to say. For what I do a mac is absolutely perfect. I can still do everything with my jtag on it(besides make/ edit .dlls), and for editing picture and video it is absolutely amazing. I would consider myself tech savy, and the one single reason I dont own a windows computer is because the hardware never seemed to last. I still own a windows desktop and never plan on getting a imac, but as far as laptops go I thing Apple has one of the best out there.

As for iPhones I would agree with you. I dont own one, but I dont know a single person with a complaint other than the screen breaks easily, and they are not on 4g yet.

13-inch: 2.9 GHz
2.9GHz dual-core Intel Core i7
Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz
8GB 1600MHz memory
750GB 5400-rpm hard drive
Intel HD Graphics 4000
Built-in battery (7 hours)

Also they have a special deal in the Education Store! Get $100 off ANY iMac or MacBook AND they also give you a FREE $100 Gift Card if you purchase a COMPUTER but if you purchase the new iPad you get a $50 Gift card!

So In Total This Computer Came Out To $1,704.27 with the Protection Plan (3 Year Warranty)
So you boucht a computer that can do nothing? ahahaha,.


I wouldn't say nothing to me PC's are just a worthless piece of trash!

How much was your last desktop? <800$
If you would spend 1700$ on a CUSTOM build you'll not say pc's are trash.

I take it you don't own a Mac due to the sheer fact you're calling them "Apples"...

A $800 custom build isn't near trash but a $1700 Mac is.
