sony vaio £ = mac £

... sup, you dumb cunt. YOU'RE PROVING MY POINT. pc fanboys that cry about the excessive costs of macs pay THE SAME PROFIT MARGINS on the hardware that they plug into their own desktops and laptops.

Are you stupid or just stupid. Macs cost more than a prebuild non Apple PC. Period. Same margins for internal components with the difference that Apple asks extra 40% for their bundled stickers.

Uzique stop being so fucking stubborn and admit that Macs are overpriced.

Sony Vaio, too, is overpriced, so don't use that as a comparison and say that both macs and non-macs are equally priced. The Sony Vaio is not the only non-Mac, whereas all Macs are overpriced.

Sony Vaio is more expensive than other (HP for example) laptops with the same hardware. Sony and Apple offer one of the most expensive non-gaming laptops on the market

'all macs'. you're comparing an entire range of pc laptops to what, 4 models by one company? gg with your fanboy logic.

i use sony vaio as a comparison because they ARE the comparison. they are the equivalent to macs- relatively high-performance, 'premium' brand. there's like 30 different types of vaio and they're all each as overpriced as any of the 3/4 macbook models. saying im picking purposefully on the high-priced pc laptops is err, THE ONLY THING THAT MAKES SENSE. doesnt really carry any weight if you compare budget ASUS laptops with a mac, does it? you get what you pay for in hardware, customer service, branding and the rest of the whole package. im not trying to prove that macs are cheap or budget-affordable. the only thing ive ever argued against is the "macs suck because they r expensive" argument. because apple are far from the only company that have premium-priced products. ive always said this: if you cant afford it, fair enough, shut the fuck up and go buy a dell. doesnt make the product inherently bad because it's priced above your accessibility. rolex watches dont cost £12,000 to make either, you know, many people still think that they're great watches. bmw's manufacturing cost doesnt match their court-retail pricetag. people still aspire to drive them. high profit markups are NOTHING new. read my original post in this topic. apple are far from the only ones, therefore your bandwagon is built on bullshit.

Sony Vaios are sexy as fuck, thus worth the extra £.

Macs support OSX, thus worth the extra £.

you can find a car with the same engine and specs as a bmw that costs 1/2 the price, too.

as i keep saying, you pay for a package and the overall product. if you can afford the premium, more power to you. if you cant, then buy the alternative that suits you best. doesnt make apple or any other company that market premium products a 'shit' company. it doesnt happen with any other company because it's not as 'cool' to hate on other companies like it is to hate on apple. when nvidia announce their latest shit-card that will be replaced even faster than steve jobs can crap out a new ipod 52nd generation, fanboys the world over will get hard-ons and start saving up their $500 for a card that costs $50 to make in china. as soon as apple announce a macbook that markets itself as a premium product with a high pricetag, everyone is all "OOOH THEY SUX, THAT'S SO UNCOOL, WAHH". the bandwagon is rinsed in hypocrisy. people pay ridiculous profits for just about EVERY branded item and product in their life. that's capitalism. your argument is founded on nothing other than the fanboyish need to hate on apple.

You're so blinded by your hate for Vista. I haven't had a single BSOD since XP. There's nothing ignorant about what he says, you're just a sheep that's still stuck on what the media wrote about Vista 3 years ago. It's a very different beast these days.

way to go. apple sucks. worst company in the world. brb just gonna go buy a $1000 amplifier because it has $5 tube-valve technology in it with retro appeal.

And I would fucking buy it. I don't want a BMW because it has a BMW badge. I want a VXR because it's the same performance, looks as good, if not better, and it's cheaper.

your prerogative. as i said, doesnt make bmw a shitbrand and doesnt mean bmw's are shit cars to drive. this laptop is still fast as shit and serves all of my needs and OSX is worth all of the premium £££ to me. enjoy your VXR-laptop, just give the fucking pointless bandwagon a rest. my point stands. whether or not you would refuse to fork out for 'x' over 'y', i can guarantee your philosophy is equivocal. clothes? pc hardware? mobile phone? ipod? i bet there's tons of shit that you buy, wear and use for reasons that extend beyond the straight-practical use and cost

I don't have an iPod because I belive I can get the same sound quality, endless storage (due to SD card input), and same functionality from my £20 MP3 player.

I have a Motorla Razer. I don't need a camera, I don't need an MP3 player, I have both.

I shop at Primark for clothes. They look good, and are cheap. I can get a pair of jeans for £8 that'll last me 4-5 months.

I'm saying if my VXR laptop can do everything your BMW Macbook can do, for cheaper, then the shiny white coat and Mac sticker are NOT worth another £200.

i think my douche appeal remains consistent whether im using my sony vaio or my macbook

but yes doctor, pat pat, smart child. you understand capitalism almost as well as our macroeconomics professor swinub does. people pay more for certain products because they have intangible benefits and bonuses associated with brand, image, build-quality and overall customer experience. and yes, the unfair imbalance of capitalist society does create the unfair iniquities that enables certain echelons of society to be able to pay premium prices for certain 'quasi-pros'. wonderful. i have been truly trolled by your wit.

and finray, the greater point is that your 'vxr-laptop' cant do things as fast as my bmw. part of that bonus price comes down to OSX and the remarkable ease-of-use that you can only get on said platform.

If I want ease-of-use I'll get a fucking abacus. A properly set up Vista machine would outperform a properly set up OSX machine if they were to both cost the same.

So you are admitting that the reason you pay the extra money for a Mac is because it helps you look like a douche?
