Buying a computer

[jff45]

Happy to send you my address if you have one of those under spec'ed MacBook Pros with 15" retina you'd like to send me.

How dare those guys at Apple sell so much overpriced rubbish and become the richest company in the world doing it.
Can you imagine what that represents in the number of idiots in the world?
Fortunately, there are dedicated people on 4WD forums trying to put an end to it!

I can also send you the address of the Dell manufacturing company in China if you wish. You know, the ones who just assemble PCs like you do and stick their logo on it..

Seriously though, I don't think you add value to what you do by simply bagging all the others that anyone mentions..

please dont be offended by me disagreeing with your opinion mate, im not bagging you or anyone else out, im just disagreeing with your opinion and backing it up with fact and not just hearsay.

FYI, apple is not the ritchest company in the world, actually doesnt even come close ranking #12, i guess you could say that they are the seconds largest electronic goods seller in the world coming second only to GE which ranks #9 in the works here is my evidence.

why would i want the address of dell? i havent been an advocate for them through all of this? lol

TBH I AM dedicated to helping people put an end to ill-conceived ideas, everyone is entitled to their opinion, infact i welcome counter opinions! just dont get upset when someone presents a stronger case.

btw, you said "Let me know when you find it under-spec'd and I'll PM you my address"... not when i find an underspec'd one... i really do find them under specc'd for what you pay for, but dont worry about the address mate, its all just fun and i was calling you out on some poor word choices by you =D

like i said dont be offended at the end of the day this is just a discussion and were all here to have a good time.

Time for my laymans look at Apple.. Lol...
I think both putting "i" infront of every product, and locking people in to a continuity of software (apple device only works with apple devices) has contributed to the consumer affinity and therefore $$$ more than superior software.

Ok. Sorry for the delay I have been busy with my sisters wedding.

I have sifted through the debate .

Budget will be what has been presented by kat. $600-$1200. Im happy to pay a little more for a better product. As I said in the first place we really arent in the high usage category for a pc. Just storage for photos and documents. Using the net and also iTunes. I have a ps4 so it satisfies my gaming needs.

I would be happy to have a go at assembling one myself.

Nic I will jump on that website and have a look but may need your assistance in piecing something together.

good stuff mate, building a PC is no harder than what you do for a living, they are just different parts to what you're used to lol. well get you there bud.
