you have to make the best and highest quality product you can

yeah apple have nice cases, but lol foxconn.

I agree. They make nice cases, but the parts inside are just as cheap and low quality as any OEM PC manufacturer (HP, Dell etc.). If you want high quality internal components you have to custom build.

And Foxconn, lol. (their high end stuff isn't too bad actually)

their high end stuff

does not compute

[GommeInc]

To be known for having higher class products, you have to make the best and highest quality product you can but not only charge for the product itself but the name/logo that comes with it. All the top designer makes such as Dolce and gabbana, Louis Vuitton, Prada, Armani etc do make very high quality clothes that would be worth more than any other lower brand clothing regardless of the brand but they charge hundreds/thousands of pounds extra because of the brand/logo. This is what Apple have done, they charge loads for simple things like power adapters, cables, keyboards to maintain a good reputation for being the best. It's like whenever people see iPhones they say "wow an iPhone!" and it can be the same with Mac's. But to be honest, the sleek design, materials used to build it, the ridiculously high resolution HD display, the tidiness and enjoyable to use operating system could possibly tempt me to buy this iMac even if it wasn't apple.

Now now, don't start making stuff up Apple products are expensive. Period. The quality isn't that amazing and doesn't justify their price. Aluminium MacBooks are a maybe, but you're not buying quality through Apple, you're just buying an Apple product - quality and Apple don't go together, same as PC and quality don't go together because there are always different sorts of product - you can get the cheapest of plastic PCs, or a solid metal one made out of high-quality materials, same with low-quality Apple products - Mac Mini? - to the iMac (although I'd opt for the MacBook Pro being higher quality). Apple selling their products as "high-quality" or luxury items, is a load of lies, I've never seen them advertise their products as "high-quality", then again, they're advertisements insult human intelligence anyway, so it's hard to tell what they are trying sell in They have quite a bad reputation for price, and their products are down to opinion, rather materials used as the materials used are strangely, used materials - when you imagine glamour, you don't immediately assume "All those fixtures and fittings on a Maybach are used materials", like Apple have labelled the iMac

Have you not learnt from your last thread?

EDIT: Also, it's the Apple name and logo associated with Apple products that put me off, they're a disgrace as far as companies go and I'll never buy any Apple product because of this. Their products are nice, but it's a shame about the logo

That is huge!

We have like 40 at school, hard to get used to I find.

Have you not learnt from the last thread not to create another Mac vs Windows argument...?

yeah apple have nice cases, but lol foxconn.

Is there really any need for this? You don't see me going into all the windows threads posting about how crap they are. And just to beat you to it, I did indirectly post something in Alex's thread about Windows but that was just a friendly joke. Nobody cares if you dislike mac's, just go use your windows and get on with your geeky little life, NOBODY CARES!!!

That is huge!

At first I suppose it is a bit like wth... But it's a well known fact that they are easier to use so I don't really see how your still not used to them.

Foxconn has nothing to do with Windows. You have no idea what you're talking about and you should let the tech guys chat about Foxconn being useless, go do some fantastic easy film editing and let us talk about what really matters: hardware.

Rushed this post but I hope I made a good point.

My Dell 23" display has a higher x resolution than Apple's 24" display, and although my monitor isn't LED it does cost £450 LESS.

Mine: 2048x1152
Apple: 1920x1200

Also, judging by your posts, you don't really know what you are on about AT ALL, and so, I agree with uhh those guys ^^^
