Ima Graphic Designer and personally, ill never use anything other than a MAC to do work on
i just love the interface, i think ppl who render graphics and work on allota large files(3d especially)are the one who can REALLY tell you.
My co-worker(mac hater, yet he uses one ) made a bet with me that he can spend 3k-3.5k on pc parts and build a faster machine than my New Mac pro (27" hella dope), we'll see

hooray for overpriced products fattening the pockets of Apple execs!

clearly you know not what you talk bout--- quality or quantity

well if spending $2200 for a laptop with less specs than a laptop for $1100 is nothing then i'm glad for u.

that's some real premium quality right thurr for that price yo!

wish i was rich like u

Here we go again.

You keep thinking "technical specs = performance"
That's like saying the car with more horsepower automatically = faster.

nobody denying Apple's quality is superior. but for $1100 more?

come nah man

Do you also complain that a BMW compact sedan is over priced compared to a Nissan compact sedan? You can upgrade your Almera to all the features of the BMW and more... for much less money.

Apple now worth more than Google, Microsoft combined

LONDON: Tech giant Apple's market capitalization is now bigger than the values of Google and Microsoft combined.

The iPhone maker's market cap is around 462 billion dollars as of mid-Friday.

Microsoft's is about 257 billion dollars and Google's weighs in at about 197 billion dollars, The Washington Post reports.

According to the paper, tech bloggers have been coming up with all kinds of statistics to put Apple's market cap in context.

Fortune's Philip Elmer-Dewitt pointed out that Apple's now worth more than the gross domestic product of Sweden, which is 458 billion dollars.

According to earlier reports, Apple's revenue figures revealed that its iPhone business alone has become bigger than the whole of Microsoft.

The tech giant's popular smartphone division generated 24.4 billion dollars of revenue in the quarter up until December, whereas the whole of Microsoft generated 20.9 billion dollars in the same quarter.

And people were worried about Google getting too big.

And to think they were 6 months away from bankruptcy in 1996/97. When Jobs and they other VPs came in... they started a climb and seem to can't stop. (Eventually they will).

Apple largest "PC" maker....

Title fail much?

An iPad running iWorks / Office HD / Quick Office, iMovie for HD video editing, Garage Band for composing music, playing games like Soulcalibur, FIFA, Rainbow 6, GTA, NFS, Metal Storm, Prince of Persia, Resident Evil....

If you don't have one, you don't have one. You will never not understand.

The rest of the world > you.

I guess I have to spell this out for you: APPLE now world's largest PC maker

Apple doesn't make PCs




and I do have one.

really man? really?

u know PC is personal computer rite? the term has jus become synonymous with windows based machines but any general purpose computer designed for individual use is a PC

And wasn't the first PC actually a mac?
The fanboyism string in this thread though.

I know I hate it too.

When it was really TIM Cook who has been running Apple for the past few years as Jobs was battling cancer.
