I love Apple Products. I would never buy an Apple computer though. They are completely over rated in my opinion.

I have a beat of a PC that I paid practically nothing for and it will last me 10+ years. Apples have a tendency not to have a long life span. If anyone had a 15 inch Macbook Air around the 2005-06 era. You cannot tell me that your battery did not fall apart. I know 30 people that this happened to. This has never happened to any Dell machine that I have owned. And Dell sucks.

I baught my wife a iPad mini for the holidays. She went to plug it in to her iMac today and it says she has to upgrade the iTunes. Whe she downloaded the iTunes it says she has to upgrade her operating system. The disk is 20 bucks and you have to upgrade an operating system. I am sorry. But this is extortion and it does not exist in the world of Microsoft. The only reason you pay for upgrades in Microsoft is for better performance and more options. Not to use a new piece of hardware that is made by the same manufacturer.

I have an iPad, iPhone, 2 Airport Express', Apple TV, my wife's iPad mini and her iphone all sync'd up around the house. It is amazing and there are no better wireless routers then Apples. I tried the top of the line Cisco 3500 or whatever it was for 200 bucks and it would not go through my walls. I baught 2 of these express joints for 100 a piece. Put one in living room, 1 in bedroom. Syncronized them in about 30 seconds flat and I finally have WiFi in my bedroom. I have tried every wifi router on the planet and could not get it to work with 1.

I was the biggest anti apple hipster hater prior to my iPad and iPhone and was a blackberry junkie. I am now hooked on Apple and would not use anything else for mobile devices.

Would still never buy a computer.
