I can't argue, they all suck, one really can't buy much without compromising their beliefs. On Apple, I did have a Mac Book Pro that I liked, but, ironically, I am a graphics guy and the computer that is renowned for graphics sucked for me for graphics work. LOL.

I can't argue, they all suck, one really can't buy much without compromising their beliefs. On Apple, I did have a Mac Book Pro that I liked, but, ironically, I am a graphics guy and the computer that is renowned for graphics sucked for me for graphics work. LOL. When they dropped Aperture, I was done. It lasted a long time, but when it was replacement time, I got far more capability with a third the price with Windows. My first smartphone, and my last, was an iPhone and I hated how Apple controlled everything I did more on that phone. Since then, it has been Android and I have never paid more than $45 for my phone. I only use one because I have to. I hate them, I call smartphones the death of civility. But my $28 per month cheapo works fine and I even use some apps. LOL. I don't like pads, but my wife does. Her first two were iPads that lasted a day past their warranties and there was zero customer support or repair. She is coming up on the third year on the Amazon Fire we got for around $50 (and, trust me, I hate Amazon, too). Buying a Fire every two months would have been cheaper than the iPads, but it is still going and the iPads are long gone. So, my opinion of Apple is that as a company they suck and, beyond that, their products suck. I know everyone's mileage varies. I will never buy Apple again. I built a desktop that will last for ten years and is unreal for gaming and graphics (my main need for a high speed computer) at a fraction of the cost of a Mac. You cannot build a Mac like you can Windows or Linux and I prefer both to IOS.
