The Official Apple Thread: Introducing the new, thinner, lighter...

[Cybertox]

I know a lot of professionals who uses set ups with no apple devices at all and those include professional car designers, video animators, graphic designers, digital artists etc.

[BoyBettaKnow]

But that doesn't mean that professionals don't use Apple products. You can't seem to grasp that it isn't all about power, not everyone needs or wants to use a Windows product. That doesn't mean your wrong, as you said you know professionals that don't use Apple but i know professionals that do use Apple.

My main gripe is with your statement that real professionals don't use Apple, when that is clearly wrong.

And thats the fucking problem and the reason why ipod touches and ipad minis have such shitty hardware. Same with computers. Those high end imacs are such crap performance wise.

Ok... High end iMac doesn't have worse performance than a windows machine that has the same hardware. The iMac just has a higher price.

Lets just agree on that Professionals use both MAC and PC, however in most cases PCs are being used if high end power is required and in professional categories high end hardware which provides very good performance is a big requirement. In the music category some professionals use Macs for a cleaner and more simple interface and look.

Thats logic but the price and the hardware ratio is the problem in Apple products. With the amount of money a high end imac costs you can buy a pc with 3x times better hardware for the same price. You can easily build yourself for 800$ a pc with same specs as a 2500$ high end imac.

So whats up Apple Defenders, nothing more to say ?

I can agree with this more, not 100% though. It's more than just musicians that use Macs and i don't think the cleaner look is why they prefer it.

I should add that i'm not an 'Apple Defender' by any stretch of the imagination.

Yeah I can. But I will most definitely not.

I did it last time. I'm tired of windows and PC building, plus why not give a try to Apple's ecosystem.

I didnt know that overpriced hardware and slow software is considered an ecosystem.

Believe me guys i dont hate apple and i have many apple devices and a mac at home but there is nothing attractive in their products excluding the design. Mac computers have a very nice design, probably the best one but their hardware is awful. Same with the software. It has a very clean and nice looking interface and its also very simple to use but its slow in terms of performance.

It is an ecosystem.
And you know, even if it's not, well at least iPhone pics will get the orientation right.

Also don't start hate posts by "Believe me, I don't hate".

If i would hate apple i wouldnt buy their products. You also seem to not comprehend my posts as they have nothing to do with hating as im giving real facts.

I think you need to see a doctor/psychologist. I could do that all day long.

Meh. 13 years of PC building are enough for me. When it stops being fun there is no point to keep at it. That doesn't mean that it might not be fun for you for decades. More power to you.

And who knows. The itch might come back.

Why do you buy their products?

[Cybertox]

Why do you buy their products?

Because they have a nice deisgn and a easy to use and good looking IOS. I only buy mobile devices like iPads and iPods.

[F34R]

Same here.... I like the design, and it just works. I have dislikes, but that's with both sides of the fence. If someone could merge iPhone with Andriod, I'd love it to death lol. Once I can jailbreak my iPhone 5, my widgets and customizations will be there again, and I"ll be a super happy camper.

[three3-times]

Hmmm, latest ipad or nexus 10?

[F34R]

Hmmm, latest ipad or nexus 10?

That's a hard choice for me. I know I wouldn't get a Nexus 10 just because my hatred towards Google for the Nexus 7 debacle lol. I'd hope their manufacturing and QA has improved since the Nexus 7 because I'd hate to buy another product that was subject to the same defects as the Nexus 7, screen lift to be precise. Price wise, Nexus 10. Design, quality, iPad. If you leave those two things out, whichever has the content that is more to your usage, I'd go there.

Thanks bro. Will give it some more thought. Im leaning towards the ipad seeing as i already have an android product and no apple product anymore!

[manutdfan]

My wife got this

[MATRIX 2]

Neither.

[three3-times]

Neither.

So what do you suggest then?

[jj03]

Honestly I'd wait till next year to see how things progress for Android tablets and any other developments in the tablet space.

But if I had to buy a tablet this year, and I was looking at full size options, I would take a good look at the Surface RT. And I'm not sure if this will apply to the UK, but it seems MS may be allowing for some serious discounts on their products in the next several weeks.

[itachi73378]

Apple finally has some decent competition. Surface and Nexus 10 both look awesome, however I have seen some nasty lag on the nexus 10 when it comes to software optimization

Off topic: Nexus 4 sold out yesterday without even letting me order. C'mon google, I was waiting for weeks
