iMacs

[Prokopchuk_9]

I'm not here to argue this, apple has been good to me. Better than any PC I've owned, all I said was until an apple product lets me down ill stand by them. On my 4th phone, own 2 computers one of which is over 4 years old, still have original iPod as well. Nothing has let me down, not one crash, not one virus. Nothing.

 

More than I could say about any PC I've owned. And I've owned a few, in fact I still own one now. Toshiba, cost me $1300 and it was a piece of shit after 6 months of usage. What if macs were the same price as PC??? Everybody would own a Mac, at least 50/50 I bet.

I believe that most people with a PC would have an 80% better experience if they just came with the stock OS and a GOOD antivirus not McAfee or Norton.

 

What made you mac guys all get the mac pro over the mac air? I'd like to get one of those little guys in the future possibly.

No cd drive and maximum 500 gig I think. Might even be 250 can't remember, I have MacBook Pro with retina display....

Would this change now that the new Pro doesn't have a disc drive?

Oh it doesn't? I got mine in July. That wasn't available when I bought mine. All the MacBooks still had disc drives...

The MacBook pro 13" has one. The desktop lacks a disc drive

Airs and anything Retina lack an optical drive but standard USB optical drives will work as will a drive on another networked Mac. Plug a disc in one Mac, install on another.

 

I have a 15" MBPr and a 13" Air and I can't tell you that I've ever needed an optical drive even once.

 

 

It burns when I Tapatalk.

I am a Mac user and actually posting from my iPad. Yes Apple stuff is expensive and can be hard to learn for someone using only PCs in the past. Each of my Apple products have been awesome and once you figure out all the little quirks are very smooth and easy to use. The only downfall is that Apple constantly releases a new version of what you just bought only a couple months later and it makes your "new" computer look ghetto. I'll keep using Apple till they really piss me off. I heard they are making everything "sealed" now or are headed that direction so the only place it can be upgraded or serviced is at the Apple store or certified facility and will only use Apple internals.

That's the price the consumer pays for wanting thinner and smaller tech. It's not impossible to work on any single Apple device, you just have to have some mechanical aptitude and not be scared to remove those pentalobe screws. I've replaced plenty of HD's, keyboards, etc. on macs over the years and while they do require care and concentration, they are not less repairable than anything else and parts for them can be found all over. As for "Apple internals," aside from HD's, most laptops use proprietary logic boards, I/O boards, etc. It's nothing Apple-centric.

when i was in design classes for college i used strictly mac and loved them, i wanted a macbook but couldnt afford it so i have a toshiba ive grown up pc but i love macs because they rarely freeze arent raped with viruses and are designed very well the display is amazing.

Linux rubs better than OSX does but for class I need MS Word. I used to dual boot when I had Win 7. I haven't installed Linux yet with Win 8

I know that current and older Apple computers were easy to work on because I had to replace a HD on one. I was just saying I heard that is possibly the future for Apple computers and if that happens I couldn't bring myself to buying one. But considering my MBP is only 2 years old i've got at least another 6 years before I "need" to buy a new computer and even then just some simple upgrades will bring my computer up to current "standards".

What is it you are having problems with? They work with Exchange flawlessly and moving files is no different.

I got it now. The SDM for office wouldn't download office. It would hang up. The first time at 89% then at 46% then 64% twice. Took 5 days and moving the computer code to the router so I could hard wire but its downloaded and installed. Now I'm installing the updates
