yeah and I love spending $2000 each time I want to upgrade. So macs are only there for you when you want to go bankrupt.

when in comes down to it all you are buying with a mac is a brand name, design all wrapped in a shitty OS. i found a laptop with my same specs, it was double the price of what i paid. i paid $640(my pc), $1280(my pc as a mac).have fun paying huge amounts of money for some fuckin eye candy cause the mac OS is horribly incompatible. It seeks to impress you with spiffy graphics and widgets but lacks any real functionality.

i'd love to see a mac user and a windows user switch computers, and see which one adjusts faster. just saying.

You know the funny thing is that even on "all in one" pc's you would have to do the same thing as an iMac. So you just either add ram or hd space or buy a new one. The argument that mac cannot be easily upgradable only applies if your comparing "like" items like a tower ( mac pro) to a pc equivalent since the form factor is different from the iMac and the iMac is not design to be easily upgradable because of space constraints as in other all in ones. But the mac pro can to a limit.

@trilintia look, i'm being nice here and not really pointing out things you are obviously mistaken. the guy i was talking to was saying macs are easier to upgrade than pcs. my point was pretty much that installing hardware is not hard on either. the quote you are repeating was part of a question not a statement. you wanna keep your warranty, pay the extra. i do not care either way but you can physically put in something not branded with an apple and it work, correct?

[trilintia]

@blueovalfan23 damn sight easier on a mac direct quote from you got me turned around didn't the person you were talking to comment as for using same spec ram they completely void any warranty even extended if you use non mac hardware. Awesome warrantys really apples biggest selling point

[blueovalfan23]

@trilintia i am full of shit? i think not. did you even read my comment? i was saying pcs are easy to upgrade. i'm not gonna go insulting your itelligence here but i've seen it done on an older setup. the newer stuff maybe i don't mess wityh overpriced, under powered (at their price range) stuff. i've built a few in my day and i can't see why you couldn't just buy ram of the same specs and it work. it makes no sense. in anycase, that is what you get for buying a computer from a hardware company.

[trilintia]

@blueovalfan23 you know how many ram options we had when upgrading macs ram and price. We had 2 option of manufacturer not of speed had to buy from apple and jacked up price $50 for 4 gigs. I can get better 8 gigs of faster ram for $34. Its not that its harder both relatively easy about as hard as legos clip together and go. But pcs have way more compatibility and your full of shiz cause really you cant upgrade cpu on mac cause they use intel which have mobos only good for one cpu type.
