Yes. I own an iPhone 5S and would gladly buy a MacBook Pro if I had the money. Their build quality is awesome. I wouldn't buy a desktop from them though.

Personally I would like to buy a Macbook Pro. Me as a programmer an "IT-guy" I feel ashamed that I have never really touched a PC with OSX. I really should be as used to OSX as I am with Windows. 

 

I'll probably end up building a hackintosh instead someday

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.

A lot of MP3 players had proprietary players, sony's sonicstage for one.

Yes, my current, and several past systems were from them.

 

Although with X99 out, a nice 8 core, DDR4 hackintosh might be nice. Unless they refresh the Mac Pro line with these chips, RAM, and slap in those new FirePro W9100 variants.

I would, IF they had a Macbook Pro 15" with a dedicated GPU for $2000, and didn't do stupid overpriced things in australia. But until then, I'll stick with windows machines.

IKR, I just did a comparison for macbook/laptop,  Apple was almost double.  Sometimes if you go into jbhif you can get touchscreen all in ones with the same specs as imacs for about $300 less.  And in Australia they all have the same warranty. 

 

I wonder what it's like to live in America and have a choice between compellingly priced products?

Yeah. Honestly, if I wanted a good laptop I'd just go for overkill and pick up an Aorus X7 at this point.

An iPhone 5S priced like a Nexus 5, expandable memory or not, would be a massive game changer for me IMO. I feel like I'd still like Android, but I'd consider iOS much more closely.

if you have to insist you think for yourself, i'm not going to believe you.

only things i would buy from apple include the macbook pro (13/15) or an iphone which i already own one and use it daily anyway :P everything else by them seems to be rather overpriced and not worth it at all considering the hackintosh community is as good as it is atm.

My mate just bought that exact model for his misses, so I'll know first hand how good they are in a few months.  There was a pcworld review on the machine too.  I thought it was an exceptional price for the specs given the fact it is an Australian company.

Maybe I would. Sure, it's expensive, but build quality seems expensive. My dream Apple products are the iPhone 6, MacBook Air or Pro, iMac, and the iWatch, which is soon.

only as a browsing, editing, and take out of the house machine...

i wouldnt want to game on it. and i definately wouldnt buy one if i could get a laptop for less with similar results.

i would never get a apple desktop.... eww...

 

iphone, probabbly, ipad.. maybe... ipod... i'd have a phone anyway.

 

they shouldnt really make desktops i feel..... cause ive found (in my expierence) that if i wanna use a computer, i wannasit down at a desk, that is all setup just how i like it, and ploping a laptop on my lap or sitting at a table in the mall doesnt work.

if i wanna game on the go, im bringing a lan party rig. or im just gonna grab my 3ds.
