Buddy all I see here is how poor/cheap you and your friends are, and how big of a nerd you are.
Then why bring it up in discussion over which one is better?
I'm partial to blackberry bold.
Feel free to compare battery life (and swapability), voice quality, durability (CSA standard of 1 metre drop onto hard surface), interoperability to microsoft exchange (calendar, contacts, and mail), and ability to use PIN.
I bought my HP (not that the brand matters, but the internals were what I needed) in the fall of 08, and haven't had to repair one bit on it after over 2 years of daily use
And that's a great argument for Apple's superb level of quality.. Attempting to insult me really proves your point![]()
Then why bring it up in discussion over which one is better? What does the marketing strategy have to do with it??
Another nonsensical argument that backs up exactly what I was saying. The domestic manufacturers have realized their mistakes and made massive changes. Ford/Buick/Cadillac all have extremely high customer satisfaction records. Check the sales of Hyundai and Ford this year. They listened to the customer, they listened when the customer said your products are trash and voted with their wallets.
Nobody cares what you would do, anecdotal evidence is pointless and useless. This is also false, because even if it was true it wouldn't explain the strong brand loyalty Apple users have. If they are so unhappy with their MBP that they paid sooo much for...why would they go out and buy another one

This ludicrous line of blaming the consumer for either being to fashion conscious, to uneducated tech wise, now we are on to blinded by the "price" they paid, this is what this discussion has been reduced to "the consumer is wrong"...lol. Its never the fact that Apple makes fantastic products that put the customers experience and satisfaction first.
Typical reactionary rhetoric, and more assumptions to toss on the growing pile.
I'm not saying that Apple products suck. I'm saying that they're way overpriced for what they offer. People are paying a lot of money for the fashion accessory aspect and for the creation of the marketing machine - to be among the cool kids. When I buy a device, I buy it for its utility value and other devices just give me a significantly better bang for the buck.
By the way, I don't really feel insulted, but you still failed to make a point with that post![]()

the apple premium is too high and frankly unjustified, imho, for the new mb, mbp, or imacs.
In your nerdy techie opinion you'd rather have a POS Asus running POS Windows because you're a techie geek. People who want their computers to work properly without tinkering, without bs malware, without bs bloatware, will buy a Macbook or an iMac. They work, they're well built, and they're extremely well backed.
To you nerds its not a big deal if something breaks of if you gotta format and reinstall Winblows for the umpteenth time because its "fun". To the rest of us its a needless chore.
Not just that, but OSX is so much better than Winblows for every day use its not even funny...
Both suck, Webos is where is at.....why because even android is copying its UI for its tablet.
You are absolutely right, currently with their outdated hardware they are not ina position to even show in the radar.If this was Dec 2011 when WebOS has new products you might be right but as it stands today they aren't even in competition. I'm curious to see what HP can bring out next year.
No, they have the advantage over all.
Apple is CONSISTENTLY at the top of the charts for overall quality and customer satisfaction.
There's no better built phone on the market than the iPhone and there's no better built laptop on the market than a Macbook Pro.
