Theres a thing about Apple they are highly uncreative on certain levels..
Iphone-Itouch same thing without a call feature.

A mac without Bootcamp is a childs toy at best.

@socomnick, most people who buy Macs are Emos, The Artistically impaired, Dorm Nerds, basically a fisherprice computer for the educationally challenged.

Only popular because its trendy? Well then how did it become trendy to begin with? By being trendy? LMAO

No, I started buying Apple stuff ten years ago because they make great products. They didn't become cool just out of nowhere. Innovation and cool products can only stay unnoticed for so long , eventually people start catching on. I used to like being the only kid with an iPod at school, but this was the first iPod back in 2001 when I was in HS.

You are paying for the quality and design. Even so, Macs have gotten so much cheaper today that you aren't paying much extra anymore, sometimes even cheaper now for the same specs and features. And if you wanna talk custom, then yes you can get a custom PC to run OSX as well for cheap.

Underpowered? Maybe you've never seen their Pro products, which have become the standard in many industries like Music, graphic design, movie editing, etc. ironically due to power. The real hidden power is actually the OS, which can't be given a spec number. Windows will always be buggy, unstable, cluttered and bloated due to an archaic registry and the other Windows design standards.

I don't understand how you can say having an iPod or Mac is trendy. Macintosh has been around for decades. It's not like they recently popped out of no where and everyone is buying them because it's the popular thing to do.

Apple also set the standard for MP3 player's with iPods and that's why they're the most popular.

@Millah
Well said. I applaud you. I loved being one of the early adopters of the iPod. Being in school showing off the cool new gadget was fun, but I remember the following year the new ones were released and a lot of people had gotten those and my old iPod was no longer garnering me any attention. :(

I know people will disagree with me here, but I'd have to agree with Socomnick. I wouldn't say Apple products under-perform, but they are overpriced. They are also trendy so a lot of people tend to buy the products. And of course name recognition plays a part. I have comparable products and I payed a lot less money. I don't think technology should be a fashion trend as Apple has made it. But that's my own two cents. I have a SanDisk 4GB MP3 player and it works great for me. And my cost was half that of the closest iPod Nano.

I like the way ThatCanadianGuy420 said Sony = Good Quality yet on the paragraph above says:

"Sony sells music players, TVs, and cameras that get mixed reviews and often don't even work well with other Sony (SNE) products."

Heh.

I use a Mac because I have a better experience with them. Though price does suck, I'm glad I got one. And there are cheaper macs out there you can get that don't cost as much as they use to.

Yes? What of it? "Mixed reviews" So? Does that mean the Quality isn't there?

I own a Sony Bravia TV,PSP,PS2,two PS3's.And never had a single problem with any of them.Therefore.To me,Sony=Good quality.

Heh.

Young Urban Professional is the official definition. Basically those who have money, and love to flaunt it. Gucci suits, Prada bags, drinks at starbucks. The upper-middle class folk.

But Stringer's concern isn't that Sony doesn't offer consumers enough choices, it's that there isn't enough demand for any of them to command the 30% profit margins that Apple enjoys.

Agree with you man. And ohh, i recently tried this new Sony mp3 player, sound quality was the BEST i have ever heard. Duno why people are blinded by Apple's average sounding ipods when there are better and cheaper alternatives around. But Apple still gets the credit for inovation.
