What Apple product/s do you use?

[Jeremy C]

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.

Simple answers: I build my own pc's. I don't need to line up somewhere as I'll go on Tigerdirect, Newegg, Directron, or go down to the local shop and pick up my parts, and make my computer be specifically what I want it to be. No need to wait for an aging hippy to release a new (old) computer for me to get something better.

As for bias - of course I'll be biased! When I buy electronics I want the best bang for the buck I can get at the time of purchase. Apple may have many things, but best value for mid to high end products has never been one of them, thus I'm not their customer. Just as you are biased towards their products because you feel there is some sort of value for your dollar there.

As for our cars - I'll tell anyone straight up they are pieces of shit most the time. I'll then ask them what their car runs in the 1/4 and see who's faster.

None, F Apple

I buy PC's simply because of the applications I use that apple does not support. Price to me does not matter as much as use does. And I can mod PC's to upgrade rather than buy new as with apple. The rest of the apple gadgets I do not use ever. Wireless phone support in my area is still 2g and will be for several more years yet. It is a chicken and the egg thing. Why buy an Iphone if you can not use most of its features. I never had a walkman no need for an Ipod either. My cell phone is only used for phone calls I do not even use text. I can take pictures but the internet feature is so slow it does not pay to try to upload or send a photo anywhere. And the cost for internet service over the cell is prohibitively expensive anyway. Not worth spending a penny on to wait forever for anything. I do have wifi hotspots around town but my notebook works fine on those already no need to change plus my notebook is compatible with my network of pc's at home. Apple just does not make anything I must have or need or want to have.
I am already heavily invested in PC programs anyway. Many which have no apple version.

Which remindes me, How many of you guys have a computer junk yard in your home of old parts that have been upgraded? I have enough old parts that I put together 6 old computers with old operating systems. I have a 386sx running win 3.1 still and a 486dx and a first gen pentium and on and on. Win 95 and win 98 running on a few oldies. Those old machines have small hard drives so they can not hold a larger operating system.

I didn't have space to keep my old junk, so most of it was sold off pretty cheap. At the moment the only extra parts I have are a couple 80GB'ish HDD's, some spare vid cards, and an old p4 Dell (came as an accessory with my wife - was replaced with a home built system real fast). Since I'm moving soon, I'm looking for a parts recycler as I have a pair of CRT's that I don't want to take with me. I'll start getting more extra parts again this fall as I intend to upgrade to an Ivy Bridge based system. My wife will get the better parts from my system, the kids will get the parts from hers, and then I should have the parts to make a HTPC.

Lot of haters out there .. a shame y'all are burdened with all those negative emotions

Had an iPhone, got tired of ATT, tho I loved the phone.
Switched to Verizon .. Droid does just fine
3rd gen iPod hooked up to my Alpine in the GT .. seamless operation, best audio I've ever enjoyed in a car.
Airport Express - Tunes from the iMac upstairs to the HT downstairs
iMac - Only regret is it's not a 24". It's over 3 years old.
(2) 15" Macbook Pros - Flawless performance

I was a PC for too long a period of time.
Anchored because of software.
Started with a 486DX2 a long time ago.
Dont miss Windows at all.

I have an
iPhone 4 32g
iPad 2 3G 64g
iPod touch 4th gen. 8g (for the wife)

I like some apple products but not all. My iPad was a gift from my inlaws and I stopped using my desktop. It's awesome for lounging around with and browsing the forums. I'm NOT a fan of apple laptops or desktops I prefer to build my computers and prefer windows. No bias here I just like what I like.

Bingo!

I bought one pre-built. It was a Packard Bell that my parents bought me when I was in high school. Every computer since then has been one that I've built.

Oh, and.....

[Frostedbutts]

None.

I build my own computers, used to have a zune HD but sold it for an Archos mp3 player (waiting on them to come out with a smaller capacitive touchscreen model), and have an old piece of shit phone. If I were to get a smart phone it wouldn't be Apple anyway, unless I wanted to be behind the curve and pay twice the price.

Also, Apple computers are built on Foxconn motherboards. "High Quality" shit right there
