    So Why Is Apple "The best" in some peoples eyes?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Look at Beats by Dre, huge dominance over the designer headphone market. Why? Because they spend billions on advertising, sponsorships, and their packaging/presentation. They're made for $50 and bought for $200. Why? Because customers like the look, the clean appeal of packaging, and the name that Beats by Dre has accumulated by all their advertising.

     

    Same with Apple. Every damn aspect is the same, although their product is far more perfected and more valuable. Anyone who argues against Apple's products, please refrain, because that company has built up a massive reputation and now has the ability to overprice their computers, tablets, and phones. Apple products are simpler, less customizable, and appeal to folks who like the aesthetics of not only the physical computer, but also the operating systems, without the options of extreme customizability. Even in Windows laptops, specs cannot be altered by a huge margin.

     

    And the reason why so many hipsters like Apple is because their products are sleek, stylish and straightforward.

    My strong support of Apple does, in no way, constitute my support of hipsters. Let that be clear.

    Looks nice, im no pro but i think 850w is a bit overkil?

     

    Yes, GTX 960 holds a very low TDP (120w)

     

    A 500w-650w gold+ would do nicely.

     

     

    Also, just for ease of use you may want to add a boot drive for faster loading- and you can also run photoshop on it

    Graphics Card Dilemma....please help!

    Thanks! So is that the best card at that price range?

     

    Yeah, just about the best card at $200-250 range

     

    I like the looks of the STRIX, but MSI's will perform better (barely noticeable). I suggest looking at some pictures of each, and pick according to that and the color of your system.

     

    Edit: Welcome to the forums BTW!

    RAM upgrade for early 2010 Macbook

    in Phones and Tablets

    Posted

    Hello, 

     

    My current macbook pro, an early 2010 model, has 4gb of RAM. I'm trying to upgrade to 16gb, or if it isn't supported, then 8gb.

     

    My question is: can my Core 2 duo support 16gb of PC3-8500 1066 or just a standard 8gb? 

    If so, please link to where I can buy!!

     

     

     

    I would highly prefer BestBuy, because I will be picking up an SSD there later today. Like would this work?

    Thanks all

    Value gaming laptop for 1000$ AUD

    Can you recommend one around 1000$ AUD? 

     

    Ehhhh, cheapest youll find in AUD is $1500, maybe $1600

     

    You'll have to check on tech sites for prices, but from what i know about the Stealth series and AUD->USD exchange rates, thats what I think you'll find.

     

    Now, Alienware has some nice laptops although I've never seen or watched anything about them. Just putting it out there, might be worth checking out. (Cheapest is I think $1,000 USD, so around $1,250 AUD)
