I see there are a lot of apple haters on here today, I like their laptops and desktops, they may be over priced but they hold their value as well, lets see a dell or acer still command 60% of its value in 4 years time, I also like pc's as well and have 2 dell desktops that I use. I dont concider myself an idiot for buying an apple device, my Macbook runs stable fast and looks great, my desktops run fine as well but windows does take a lot more to maintain and is no where near as stable as mac os, all that said I wont be getting an Ipad despite how good they look, I like to choose who I get my software from and not have it dictated to me by anyone including Apple.
