    Why do people buy Apple products?

    My meager investment in Apple won't change a thing. #2 you already have given money to slave labor by buying an Asus product. That's more damaging then me owning some Apple stock. You HAVE SUPPORTED AND PAID FOR SLAVE LABOR. Again Apple goes out of its way to get rid of slave labor in their...

    Why do people buy Apple products?

    uh that's the point of an investment yes. I have stock in Berkshire Hathaway (I actually go to the Berkshire shareholders meetings), Disney, GE, Kraft Heinz, Coke, Pfizer (as we discussed elsewhere), Target and WD-40 to name a few others. But if you are suggesting that me posting about Apple...

    Why do people buy Apple products?

    Yea you guys aren't bashing Apple users at all lmao. :rolleyes: @2GooD Productions Me saying that the average person doesn't have the tech skillset to properly price out and compare technology products is not saying someone is dumb at all. You can always learn a skillset. The average consumer...

    Why do people buy Apple products?

    oh im not mad whatsoever. Like at all, but I feel I gave a logical and factually correct essay of why Apple products are great in some situations and basically I got back "nuh uh you are dumb" if you don't like Apple fine, but don't act like people that use Apple products are dumb.

    Why do people buy Apple products?

    Well first off their accessories are a place that they do try and make up their margins, no doubt. But your second article basically got everything way wrong. When people say "Windows computers are half price" they have no clue how to price technology. Again if you go to the Dell site and make a...

    Lets talk Linux

    Yea but who actually does that or has the skill set and time to? Not many people. You know Im pro linux but I always found that particular argument a bit hollow. the NSA has been trying to put a backdoor in Linux for years...

    New NATIVE UAD stuff

    oh I agree with that. But the reality is that we haven't owned software in decades. Think you own Windows? Think again. They are giving you a license to USE Windows.

    Why do people buy Apple products?

    Right but building your own computer can't be compared to pricing on an HP or Dell. That's why I say compare Apple to HP or Dell and you will find they are all around the same price give or take 10%. So that's not GROSSLY higher than the compition. You know the internal profit margin on hardware...

    Why do people buy Apple products?

    The Mac studio starts at 2k and again, go price out a dell or hp with similar performance. You will find the Mac to be cheaper. Right now the Mac Studio is the cheapest way to get that level of performance. And yes slave labor is a problem in the tech industry as a whole. It sucks. But Apple...

    Reaper runs pretty great as does Bitwig and Harrison Mixbus. so I would look at those DAW's if you are so inclined.

    Why do people buy Apple products?

    Imho the IPhone works significantly better then any android I have ever used, and I have used a lot. Isn’t that reason enough fade? Why wouldn’t someone use a better product that’s within 10% in price of something else? Then when you factor in that iPhones are supported YEARS longer then android...

    Why do people buy Apple products?

    Ok take the challenge then fade, price out a Dell laptop right now with the exact same specs as a MacBook Pro and get back to me on the price. You will find them to be about the same price and the Dell will have worse build quality. And knowing the mac will likely last years longer makes it much...

    Why do people buy Apple products?

    I literally posted no less the four criticisms of apple in my first post. Trying to claim its cult to me kinda shows you are out of decent arguments. I don’t give too shits what tech anyone uses. But don’t point at Apple users and say they are dumb or it’s just a fashion thing. Because Apple...

    Why do people buy Apple products?

    Did you miss the long and in depth study I posted where IBM found that Macs are about $500 a year cheaper then PC’s because they are more reliable and cause less tech support issues? That was a massive study over many years. So more then just hopeful. And yeaaa apple destroyed Android in...

    Why do people buy Apple products?

    See, that’s where the perception is different from reality, selling a high end custom monitor stand for the video editing market is super common and in line with the rest of that industry. That product was never meant for the average consumer. Their price on it is about 10% higher then the...

    Why do people buy Apple products?

    Seriously wtf, after my long, detailed and logical explanation with sources and studies you still say “I guess it’s just the stylish brand” come on now. You didn’t read a word I said. I think you and @2GooD Productions have a pre conceived bias for some reason and don’t want to change your...

    Lets talk Linux

    Been a fan for years and have tracked a few records in it over the years with Ardour. But I always run in to some show stopping issue that pulls me back to Mac or Windows. So what does everyone think? Who is using it or who has questions maybe I can answer?

    Why do people buy Apple products?

    Also I just want to add that Google still hasn’t figured out how to make a decent texting app. Just pick one and go with it man. iMessage is MUCH better then anything on Android. Better texting is a VERY compelling reason to go IPhone over Android.

    Why do people buy Apple products?

    Probably why you don't know how good they are...lmao ok here we go. You know I make my living in technology and part of what I do is price out high end tech for companies. So knowing this stuff is my life. I live in the Microsoft, Google and Apple ecosystems all day every day. So I see it all...
