What Apple product/s do you use?

[GTO Assassin]

Depending on what you're talking about when you say that Apple is popular, I would have to beg to differ. In the PC realm, they are just under 5% world market share. To me, I would file that as "irrelevant in the industry." They make overpriced PC's and have rode their mp3 players (I include the iPhone and iPad in this since the iOS was originally meant for the iPod) to make any real headway anywhere.

The company's only real skill is their ability to make people feel that they MUST HAVE this new product that no one has needed before. Once competition begins in that market segment, Apple starts to lose their ass and they move on to something new. To top it off, most every Apple fan I know is an absolute idiot, so that helps add to the distaste for the products they sell.

I just find this hard to fathom from you guys. I checked the wiki page for Apple as well as some other sites which had their good v bad v ugly products. The part that keeps coming up is the fact that their products are alot more expensive. Yet everytime Apple release a new product, guess what happens? WORLD WIDE people camp outside the shops front doors looking to be the first to buy the new accessory. Does that make it a good product, no, but does it means it's popular, absolutely! Take the iPhone for example. I refused to buy it simply because alot of people at work have one. I bought the Nokia N8 and thought it competed well against the iPhone in almost all areas, and beat it in some. (12mp camera was the main reason I got it) Yet for a simple function as the screen spinning to whatever way your holding it, the Apple shits on the Nokia. Also, it's a bit laggy when opening different screens. Now this is a pretty lame ass plus for the Apple, but it's these little things I appreciate.

We also have an iMac which I used to edit all my videos on. It doesn't really crash and v's a pc, it's worlds in front for what I need imo.

I hate all apple products, except their networking products. For consumers, nobody else can touch the airport extreme or express. They are pretty much the best at extending wireless networks. Also the way they function as an airtunes node, is awesome. That said, i hate itunes, but for people who dont, its amazing.

"hey mr client, i see that you have 40 gigs of music on your pc, and you have an iphone/ipod touch, what would you say if i told you for $100 you can stream music from your computer to your surround system, and control everything from your iphone" clients eat that shit up...

I have like 5 [at least] windows based PCs/Laptops and one Apple G4 desktop. Haven't turned it on in 2 years hahaha. I used iMacs at Uni for video editing and 3d rendering/design and I think that's all they are good for. Gaming is shit.... parts cost 4 times what a Toshiba/HP laptop would cost..... and the components are all the same. I tried to sell a customer a Toshiba laptop today but she had her heart set on an Apple and she went and bought one...... $500 more than the Toshiba with basically the same specs. So frustrating.

Scotty next time you need a new computer/laptop give me a call and i'll hook you up with a real PC not some crappy over priced Crapple

See, I don't consider lining up for a new phone making the company popular. That's what I call fanboi's that need to get a life. It's a fucking phone. You make calls with it. The rest of the world realizes that you're not any cooler because you waited for the new iProduct. As I said - they have a tiny part of the market. Their skill is in making new shit that their fanbois will line up for and buy at exorbitant prices. That's all.

HAHA - Wev'e had our iMac for 3 months. We dont run anti-virus software, dont get pop-ups and it doesn't crash on me. ALL the PC's I've ever used pale in comparison to this machine. I love it and I promise I'm no fanbois.

Dude - I'm not saying these idiots are right in lining up. But you dont see that sort of reaction happening with pc's do you. Why? I can't be sure but I'm guessing they make more products? Anyways, I think you just hate the product so getting a fair assessment from you wont happen really. Take our car platform. It's a horrid one to choose, yet you would stand up for it if some ricer were to bash it.

you better run some anti virus on that mac... or you will be sorry

Macs are fine if you want to pay 5 times what you should to surf the web and make a fashion statement...

Most macs are just that, web surfers... read some email. Oh noes edit a movie!

Macs are for dumb computer users who only do simple tasks. Only the real software and games are written for PCS...

Although with more and more "web based" apps coming online, Apples can do a little more now.
