>>
>>52911390
They aren't garbage just expensive.

Its because normies don't know better. Rather than research they would rather spend the extra bill go get something they feel won't piss them off or leave them disappointed.

Like how I know nothing about cars, but I've owned nothing but Toyota and will continue to get Toyota cars because of their reliability and relatively cheap cost to maintain and replace parts.

Because apple products are a fashion statement. People buy them because their rich and dumb friends have them and they don't want to feel out of place. They don't care about things like terrible battery life or lack of features if it means they can feel normal around their friends.

Woman and fags are more prone to caving in from peer pressure and buying apple products. Men however usually grow a pair and stop worrying about fitting in and buy things that fit their needs.

sapphire crystal doesn't make sense for a smart watch. It dulls out the colors, dims the max brightness, and is far too reflective for a display in outdoor use. Trust me, money wasn't the deciding factor in purchasing the sport rather than the stainless steel model.

outside of that how do you like it? Do you think it was worth the extra money over the sport model? I haven't experienced any scratches on either of the apple watches I have owned.

I love the look of the Steel w/ Milanese Band, so I guess from that perspective it was worth it. I have sustained some scratches on the steel below the display from accidentally hitting door frames (clumsy). I wouldn't recommend buying it at the advertised price unless you really enjoy the aesthetics of the more expensive ones. I was originally going to get the Steel Band Black, but it was $1600 in Australia, so fuck that. I bought it for developing Watch apps also, so that's how I justified the price, otherwise I would have just gone for the Sport and saved hundreds.

It's just because design and appearances have become so important in people's lives in the last decade. People only buy lifestyle objects today, whether it's clothes, furniture, computers or kitchen appliances.

Design pops out better in the layman's eyes than technical specs. And literally everyone wants to appear as if they are living a dream life today. Yoi can't own ugly objects if you are living that perfect life, right?

Yes it is apples fault. They patent their charging circuits so you can only buy their chargers. And sew the fuck out of companies that make aftermarket ones. Also they change it every 2 years or so, so apple users can't share chargers.

This is true.

Tech normies falsely believe every Apple product ever to be of the highest build quality and immune to viruses or crashing, and as such will pay 2-3 times what the device is actually worth from a utilitarian standpoint.

Automotive normies falsely believe every Toyota product ever to be of the highest build quality and immune to wear or mechanical failures, and as such will pay 2-3 times what the vehicle is actually worth from a utilitarian standpoint.

Both are mostly average and outrageously overpriced.

Jeep is like Alienware, except you can't actually purchase a good one stock.

The FRS/BRZ I can't even think of a comparison for. The image it creates is so far off from what it actually does I just don't believe there's anything that far off in the tech industry. It's got the image of the best handling affordable "sporty" car on the market when in reality the car known as the worst handling handles better. It's meant to look sporty but it's really just an econobox that sacrifices economy through drivetrain loss so it can be RWD.

I'm far from a fan of Alienware and I'm not familiar with their current line up, but you can still buy something from them that has reasonably high end hardware, correct?

Jeeps carry the brand recognition of being extremely capable off road. The modern Wranglers are... decent stock, but complete and total trash, not any remote sort of competition compared to what a built truck or buggy can do. The other models are mostly crossovers, no better than other crossovers on the market.

Apple products aren't terrible, they are okay. They are just priced as high-end no matter what they have inside. There are always better products but the price alone keeps normies thinking that Apple must be the best one ever. You would be surprised how little most people actually know about computers.

The real issue comes when people praise Apple, not when Apple creates products. The hype makes other manufacturers ditch what they have and copy Apple instead since consumers only want the ones that look exactly like Apple. Then Apple can set the pace and technological advancement slows close to zero.

Apple shouldn't disappear but it should be far from the most popular, just so it can't affect the market. Development should be a lot faster.

Patented the shit out of them so no one could use those, that's the opposite of advancing the world's state of technology.
>full size trackpads
Apple has some good drivers for their trackpads inside their own OS so you might not get a brain tumor after five minutes. Try to use them in other laptops that come with Windows and you'll want to get rid of them. It's easier when the same vendor makes the hardware and software but at the same time that closes all the doors. Apple is doing their very best so that users would stay consumers and nothing else. No altering anything in hardware or software. You take it as is and you will pay for it, premium price.

IBM had a 206 PPI monitor in 2001.

How much has Apple done to "advance technology" in that field in the past 15 years? They haven't done shit but take existing technology, slap their name on it, and convince consumers they invented it.

By build quality I wasn't really talking about ports, because you'll always have one less than you need, but rather the construction of the chassis and the components within. I was a major Linux proponent for over a decade before I finally bought my Macbook after having two Dells and an Asus give me roughly two-three years each. The bezel on the Asus was literally peeling off. It was fucking glued on.

And I get 8 to 9 hours out of this 2011 model. About three times as much as any of my previous notebooks.

Worth the small premium imo.

>>
>>52913960
The updated model, the 221, ran off of a single power supply. Apple didn't advance that.

The DVI cable requirement was due to limitations in DVI with the resolution itself, it had nothing to do with the PPI. But Apple didn't invent dual link DVI or DisplayPort either, so it doesn't really matter.

Good hardware and software. Stable, usable and really easy, even a monkey can use it. The only problem is the price but people who buy it have money. If I would have all the money in the world, do you think I would expend my time choosing the pieces or making my pc? having memory, time and thread problems in windows? Wasting 3 hours to install correctely even the easiest drive on linux?
And yes Im not retard and I know how to deal with problems on windows and linux but if I can have something easy I dont want the hard version.

Macs have gone to shit thanks to Yosemite and newer, battery life has decreased by 30% over Mavericks, heat has gone up and graphics stutters are everywhere.

iPads are still useless toys. The Pro is such a poor attempt at making it serious, nobody is going to make apps for it because nobody has one, and nobody will. They're glorified web browsing appliances.

iPhones are the only decent Apple products left and they're still doing whatever they can to ruin it, with iOS getting more artificially bloated to push older devices out of their support stream. 6 Plus lags like shit, 6S Plus isn't much different in terms of graphics stutters.

Too bad that apart from those displays there doesn't seem to be any modern 16:10 monitors of such high resolution.

The day that:
1) you can run maxed graphics in most games at 4K 144hz with plenty of headroom on a single sub-$800 graphics card
2) such a monitor exists

will be the day 4K isn't just a pointless gimmick

Back when steve jobs was alive, apple was not associated with homosexuality. Now that time "stroke my icock" cook is the CEO people immediately associate apple products with homosexuality. It's a fact of life now, if you own apple products, you love cock. Of course this also includes women, degenerate and normal ones alike.

Except that couldn't be further from the truth. Think back to the rainbow-colored Apple logo and the colorful computers.
Now everything is sleek and professional-looking. Not to mention that like 99.9% of all females own an iPhone will Android is heavily male-dominated.
If anything, non-Apple stuff is homo nowadays.

Traded in my 8 year old Chevy for a Toyota.

Their hardware is shit and made of cheap materials. They give off a superiority vibe from their marketing. Which fools weak minded people into buying it. As they want something to make them feel superior to others, then they get pissed off if anyone questions it. Since its supposed to be superior they must assert its superiority.


Anyone who works in Tech and can justify an apple products. Literally knows they are lying to themselves and others. It should make them hate themselves, because they know it.

Already put it succinctly.

Apple makes good products that have a somewhat excessive premium.

Pretty much every modern, commercial OS is very stable and functional, so that's not much of a concern, unless you have some sort of strong preference for one or the other.

The only people that feel a need to hate on Apple products so strongly are teenagers that wanna "be cool" by hating something popular or get mad that they can't play the latest Call of Bullshit: Modern Whatever on a macbook.

The REAL problem with their products right now is that the components they're using are hardly any different from the ones stuffed into other computers; hence you're paying for the brand, build quality and OS (though you could always make a hackintosh if you wanted it so badly).
