I am about to buy my first Mac. I have an iPad, iPod, blablah, but never had a Mac computer and thought to give it a try. It's "a big try" for me considering it's average price -I don't want an entry level iMac-, but I am tired of the PCs constant problems and thought that maybe Apple was worth the money according to sooo many -and intense- comments from mac users.
I've been using PCs since the monochrome era, no HDD, no Windows... since the early days. It was fun in those years. Always learning, trying things, adapting, discovering, solving things... sure many of you know well what I mean. Now I am getting kind of old and I start to be real tired of error messages and the typical MS Windows crap. I neither have the time and energy to fine tune a Linux system. Now I just need a TOOL that does what I want it to do when I need it. I thought Power+Reliability=Mac until reading threads like this or after the problems and bugs I've experiencing in my iPad since I updated to iOS 6. My "new iPad" was smooth and perfect until I updated... just a few days before they showed up with their "new-new iPad"
So, what's going on with Apple? Is it becoming kind of an exclusive Microsoft since Mr Jobs left? Am I going to start dealing with error messages and problems after every update? Planned obsolescence? I need some light here.
