Would you buy from APPLE....

[midrim]

....if they were as cheap/cheaper than their PC/Android counterparts?

 

I know a lot of you hate Apple mostly because of their pricing. Now that Jobs is gone, it seems they started focusing on attracting a bigger market by making stuff like the 5C and the next line of macbooks they dub as cheaper than before. So what if they started selling @ true value - would you buy from them?

iPad, Macbook Pro with retina display.

If the Price to performance was at a point I deemed acceptable for my use case.

[Fred Castellum]

Meh, maybe. If its a must have product price is not a obstacle.

[ColorfulShardMC]

I have a macbook pro...

[dizmo]

I don't like Apple because of the way they conduct themselves, not so much for the products.

Apple makes some of the best MP3 players. So I bought one because there weren't any other choices.

Now there are comparable products on the market and if I had a choice I would not go Apple.

 

I hate how they make everyone use iTunes.

[_ASSASSIN_]

why not?

I personally would totally get macbook pro's because metal.

I just wouldn't go with phones being that I'm quite attached to android now.

If the Macbook w/ Retina was cheaper I'd buy it in a heart beat. Other wise I can get a much beefier laptop with less pixels for less.

[TheSLSAMG]

I see no issue. I own a Mac Mini and iPhone 5, and I am eagerly waiting to see the iPhone 6 as an upgrade.

[pit5000]

i already have apple stuff, 2012 rMBP, iPhone 5S, iPad 3

 

might get iWatch, waiting to see more on Moto 360

[orangecat]

The only reason i don't have an iMac is because of the price but I would love one. I might even put Win7 on a dual boot so i can game on it and use mac OS X for everything else.

My problem with apple is not price, hardware or design, its dat software! Even worse on the mobile side.

[MrYuriy]

Nahh, I still wouldn't.

 

Apple's prices have nothing to do with the product itself, for me.

I like the customization, open-source factor of Android, Microsoft, Linux, etc.

I also like having choices.. Such as colors, sizes, which programs I want to use, if I want to add memory (i.e. memory card in a tablet), if I want to replace a batter, etcetc. List goes on.

The one thing I feel like when I used my apple devices is I felt like a Sheep being herded. I must go with everything they tell me to go with.. Such as the memory (3 choices, really? no upgrade-ability and such?) And, of course, the obvious one.. iTunes. I want (and have) a choice of what the hell I want to use to buy my music, listen to my music, etc. Also, I don't need somebody telling me if my Application is "worthy" .. If I want to create a simple 2-hr private app just for me, to do a certain task.. I can just upload it into the Play Store. Not with apple.

 

I've used apple devices before. They are damn solid units of technology. However; they just aren't for me. If the iPad Air 64GB cost $100 and a Galaxy Note 10.1 or Nexus 10 was $300, I would still go with one of those.

[Joshua Ondangan]

yes a fully spec trashcan mac or their iphone 4s.

[rambi36]

I like apple's macbook air and the iphone is ok, I used it for a while before i switched to an S5 but I wouldn't buy anything else from them. The iMacs imo are basically laptops in a desktop form factor and are the most overpriced computer from apple(1,200 for an i5 with iris pro graphics and a slow 5400 rpm hard drive, really apple?). I don't do crazy editing and even if i did i would rather have a pc for that than a mac pro. Sorry if i sound like fanboy. I hate though that the majority of mac users don't really know anything about computers and they say "OMG MACS ARE SO MUCH FASTER THAN PCS!" And the majority of them are upgrading from a really old desktop or laptop. Those are my thoughts on the topic

[WoodenMarker]

As long as they don't sacrifice on that sexy build quality..

I would get a macbook pro and install windows 7 an linux.

[Accursed Entity]

I've owned various products from them, good quality, I had a Macbook Pro 2011, best laptop I've owned. 

[Dudenstein]

The only portable music player I use is my iPod classic. Mass storage and decent audio with an interface that doesn't frustrate.

[TheNinjaNextDor]

I would and have in the past. A lot.

[bcredeur97]

the MacBook Air right now is very good price/performance especially with those Iris graphics and the PCIe SSD.

 

it all depends whether or not I would buy from apple. It has to have a GOOD POINT in order for me to consider it

lol I put rockbox on my old iPod Classic 6G(yes a bit buggy on the 6G but it was worth it to me) and I found the audio quality to be better once you tweak it a bit with all the extra settings you get

[Norwegiantweaker]

if apple could produce their shit at low price they would probably take over a lot of stuff 

[MrYuriy]

I would get a macbook pro and install windows 7 an linux.

 

Okay. And the point of that being......?

How does it offer anything over another nice native-Windows laptop?

 

Yes, the design is great.. But there are better design offerings that other companies provide. Then again, that's just my opinion.
