Unless jane doe works for Apple, I think your anger is misplaced. Plus, I'm thinking she was kinda kidding. New machines are coming. Any day now...n00bst3r said:Exactly why I know that Apple doesn't care about their customers.

jane doe said:Apple is not interested in competing on price. they have said so publicly. Apple is more into value.
Dell is interested in competing on price, they have a manufacturing model based on close to zero overhead in parts. This leaves them with very low cost but very strained relationships with partners. Apple is the opposite. They would rather sell at a higher price point, make more profit per unit sold (and maybe that means sell less) and innovate with partners, not beat them up with screwed up contracts.
Apple is not catering to the budget market, Thats what your asking them to do. The Mac Mini is the first time Apple has done that and it may not be the last but thats not the direction they have told investors their going.
Sorry, but Apple does not want to compete with Dell head on, price for price. They could if they wanted but are not interested.
Why do people argue about Mac v's Dell or PC or whatever the hell computer you happen to own.
I bought a computer to do what I wanted it to do, NOT to play with the OS (be it OSX, XP, Linux, Unix, BE or any other) I am not loyal to any one manufaturer of hardware or software. It is simply a tool to do a job, they can keep all their fussy little gadgets, widgets, fidgets etc. just give me what I paid for, a computer without any faults - either hardware or software related - so that it will run the programs "I" want to run.
The problems I have had with the Macs I own (I also have several PCs, and I have had problems with some of them also) are usually hardware related. Apple know these problems well but pretend they don't exist - Matshita CD/DVD drives for one - the name should give them a clue - Mat **** A - and this is my main gripe with Apple, I personally don't think they care about their customers one iota. I know of one Macbook Pro owner who had a logic board replaced at a cost of over $1000 only to find 4 months later that his machine had developed the same problem again.
After talking to Apple he was told that they only give 90 days warranty on repairs and now that time was up he would have to pay for another logic board (with another 90 day warranty!). Now that shows just how confident Apple are in their products. I am sure others can tell similar stories about other manufacturers. Lets face it they (the makers/sellers) just want the money, we pay, and then either whine about them; or defend them blindly.
It's a machine NOT a religion, so why get your knickers in a twist defending a producer of faulty merchandise?
Anyway I will sit back and wait for the Party Faithfull to shower me with their gratitude.
You must be some kind of priest to resurrect a thread that has been dead for a year.![]()
