Apple pays attention to detail. Way too much! They totally forget about the big picture. "Hey, let's make it really shiny and white and clutterless". Oops, they just made a computer with parts comparable to mid-range two years ago.

No wonder their market share is only 10% (8% of them fanboys and retards, 2% actual legitimate users who know why they prefer a Mac.)

Buy a board, use an old case, call it a day after 400 bucks. Go retail for 500, still a better computer for half the price.

Apple products are designed very well inside and out no cable clutter inside the mac like on a Pc

This is what you pay for attention to details and the user experience.

Apple may not make the fastest computers in the world but they sure are the most well designed.

Yeah, but the only reason I would not complain about the Lamborghini's is that they are some of the fastest sports cars on the planet.

I don't think that the same can be said about Apple computers.

Ok why are people moaning about the cost of Apple products.

If you cannot afford them then stop moaning!!! they are not aimed at you.

would you walk into a Lamborghini dealership and complain, their cars are too expensive?

and i'm so glad he didn't

I for one wish this article was written by Nick himself.

Apple already talks too much good things about itself, not to mention its followers blinded by too much overpriced gloss white-plastic products that become obsolete in 2 months.

Nick helps to balance this a little bit.

How can anyone who wants a nice laptop buy a Mac? They don't even come with the option of a high res screen. They are missing the opportunity to charge some moron another 300 bucks for the upgrade to a 1080p screen.

I will admit my Imac was the nicest looking pc(any home computer is a pc to me) Ive seen and the keyboard is the best I have seen. But then theres the cheap looking mighty mouse Bluetooth worked well but that where it all ends.Puny hard drives NO hd and midrange parts in a high end product. I have a ipod and the white plastic cable has big cracks and the ends , its hardly been used.I am not impressed with Apples components for the price nor there non removable battery's.Like most anything to do with computers, I always feel they could do a lot better considering a home builder can build a better desktop for half the price.And yes I do feel apple's are over priced when all things are considered and there no where near as well made as years ago. Plus look where there made.

Where is Nick?
People will start talking!
The Inq just giving facts on Apple without the usual BS?

I will applaud this on the hope that it will continue.
