I do ask for proof. If you are going to use the "overpriced" route, please be sure to back it up with a price comparison that can back it up. If you are going to just say because they do, well, obviously, you fail.
You are welcome to use the "you can't play games on an apple" and that is fine. apple users know this, and we also know that windows is for playing games. it excels at it, there is no argument if you want to play games, use windows.
Oh, and if you want to talk about their advertising, please spare me and include equal time to the whole Mojave commercial blitz.
I would love to hear why, and see some actual reasons to back it up.
My only gripe with apple right now is the use of glossy screens on the new macbook pro, the matte screen was the best thing apple ever did, and the inclusion of the nvidia 9400/9600 in the mbp. they could have gone with a better gpu. i obviously don't hae them or think they suck for that decision, i jus don't agree with it.
But please, feel free to explain to me why apple sucks if you feel they do.
So from the sounds of it you have heard several perfectly acceptable reasons to not like apple, but like most other apple users (not all) you're so stuck up your own ass about the company that you just brush these reasons off. That's my biggest problem is that you pompous sons of bitches won't leave us alone about it. If we don't like apple products, we don't like apple products. I shouldn't have to explain to the legions of the Steve Jobbs army why I don't like apple computers. Leave me, and the rest of us, the fuck alone. If I KNOW you're an apple user without even seeing you working on your apple that means you decided to mention it out of context, and THAT'S the reason everybody hates you.
Many apple users are annoying, plain and simple. It's threads like this that make me want to punch a lot of you apple users right in the fucking face. Get off you high horse about it, because the truth is nobody gives a fuck what computer you use. Congratulations, you're a Steve Jobs tool, now kindly leave it alone and let us all live in peace.

nice. you must feel manly about right now. you don't know me, and if you did you wouldn't even think half the crap you said. i would expect something better from you, but i guess we all can't win.
you must live in denver.

to me, the imac is an enigma. i've always wandered why apple doesn't offer a mid range desktop, with expandability. Last night as i was reading posts and thinking about it, it hit me and made sense. The imac is the consumer offering as a whole system for the casual user, the mac pro for the professional that needs workstation power. they don't have a mid priced tower because OS X doesn't fit in that niche. I think apple realizes that market is occupied by gamers and enthusiasts that would raher build their own pc and not buy a box already together. Plus, within the apple user base, there is a gap.
everyday users aren't gonna pay for more then a base imac, and people that need a mac for proffesional use aren't going to step down to the imac.

It would make my work life so much better.

I configured that for 4GB memory and a 500GB HDD.
Cost? $1,524.00
Rig below, cost? ~1400$ when I built it, probably lower now.
It's outperforms the mac in every way, by a long shot. In every category, w/e test you want, my PC which is cheaper and will outperform the mac. I have a quad-core, a HD4870, which macs couldn't even dream of having until years after release, and a larger HDD.
/thread
Did you build it with everything built into the monitor? That's one big draw of the iMacs. Plus, If you're going to use the building argument, configure it with base stats and add the new memory and HDD yourself. Super easy to do, and nothing you wouldn't do while building your mac. Show me the price of something pre-built (i.e. not something you build yourself) and then we can talk.
$1200 for the mac that way, and If i had cut corners on my build I could have cut the price to that point, with the same core components. And so far as having the parts built into the monitor, I fail to see how having terrible airflow which reduces the ability of my components to perform is a "big draw".
Give me a sec, I'll go configure a prebuilt.

Dunno what your problem is. Works fine for me.

Is there a specific reason why you need a numlock key? It's an old key from back in the day when keyboards didn't have separate arrow keys.

Hmm, you're just talking basic functionality where home and end will bring you to top and bottom of the pages right? If you mean while editing a text field and you want to hit the beginning or end of the text, Command+Up or Command+Down will do that.
I'll be honest, I'm using a MacBook, so I have to use Fn+Left for Home and Fn+Right for End, which is different than the full sized keyboard.

NO.
Home brings you to the beginning of a line
End brings you to the end of a line. Without them, you hold down the fucking arrow keys to scroll across this loooooooooooooooooooooooooooongass sentence.
PgUp and PgDwn are for page scrolling. .....How can anyone use a keyboard and not utilize these essential functions?
