| 349699 | 2005-04-29 02:18:00 | I like the way Dell and many others use this line "Dell recommends Microsoft® Windows® XP Professional", and have XP Home installed. Macs are nice to look at, but a rip off. Mac shops say you can only use this thing bought from a Mac shop for nearly double the price of what can be sourced elsewhere. eg. DVD drives, graphics cards etc |

DVD drives, graphics cards etc thats funny, ihave had no problems upgrading hd, burners, and ram without a problem either through dse or a local computer shop. Apple recommends there stuff but you won't void warrenty using after market gear I don't feel i got ripped off, two years after purchase it was a pretty decent machine, widescreen monitor, dual format burner, and with every os update the machine has gotten faster, just waiting tiger |

| 349701 | 2005-04-29 02:29:00 | I was more reffering to their rip off selling tatics to suck people in to only using mac shops. I say if they can get away with it well done, but the average mac user should realy smarten up. | Rob99 (151) | ||

But tring to buy one from a major retailer is just as bad, they are not interested in the product. Apple has tried to do something about that by putting blackshirts into harveys a couple times a week they are there to give customers infomation on there products as the regular saleman don't know squat |

| 349703 | 2005-04-29 07:31:00 | Exactly my point Edward, you pay more for quality. Have a look through the currrent posts on this forum and the problems people are having. You don't get these problems on a Mac. due to the tight integration of all the components. Just a selection of problems reported today CD writer Spyware DVD drive Firewalls ComPorts Viruses Startup, Freezing Crashing Problems Video driver problems Java and Active X so you never get broken cdwriters? im sure you would |

Personally I am drawn to mac posts the same way that people are drawn to spectate at car crashes= morbid curiosity. That doesn't mean I want to be in a car crash. As for the mac propaganda on their homepage I'm afraid that is all it is, amusing yes, believable no. Before I get leapt on by Macsters I would also point out that I am an equal opportunity disbeliever and dont believe any advertising blurb by any company on any product. |
