Smell the coffee you are being ripped off, Apple hides it's lackluster products under a shiny shell and put a mirror finish to your screens to make them nay impossible to use in anything but dark rooms.
Apple charge more, spend less and produce products that are more locked in and down than NORAD. Really amused with refunds being given for faulty goods (Apple more reliable, faster, customer orientated).
Reliability = They will reliably remove more money from your wallet per product, with less that acceptable parts.
Faster = At giving you products that are out of date at the point of sale.
Customer Orientated = THEY WANT YOUR MONEY!! So guess what...
I am a Linux fan and find this Windows/Apple joke factory quite amusing. I would never buy a PC from Apple as I like spending my money on the parts not on the Brand name. I would never buy a Dell, HP, Asus etc etc as I want full control over everything in my PC.
Given that if I had to choose I would go with Dell as I have never heard of them backing away from their products, and they are extremely quick on replacements and support. Many of my customers have had nothing but good things to say about Dell.
Apple fanboys read more and spite less at PC's they are the only reason you can get online (No Apple servers), and have (old or under powered, knobbled CPU, Ram, Blah Blah Blah) hardware, software and I will not mention Games.
If it was not for PC innovations, Apple would be an even more historic beast (Before you flame where are all the components sourced from for Apple now-a-days? intel, ATi, Nvidia, Samsung, Sony etc etc so really just an under powered, under supported over priced PC).
Take care all.
