Apple
I take back what I said about the iPhone, it is an amazing machine... but Apple charges for customer support... :l Are you kidding me? Wont be buying a Mac Book Pro like I was plannig to. Ill stick with Toshiba :)

My objection to Apple is their highly predatory approach to IP protection. They are (and have been) master patent trolls. I was seriously considering buying an iPhone 5 until their recent victory over Samsung. Now, they can lick my balls. I almost want to buy an S3 out of spite.
However, from a design and manufacturing POV, Apple is exceptional, and IMO deserves being considered visionary. As for charging for customer support it's a crazy complex issue. If you want quality customer support, paying people who know WTF they're talking about, it's going to cost you, either in the product price or as a support price. Decoupling from the product price at least allows super users to reduce their total cost of ownership. |
Apple can suck my balls if they think I am giving up my SIII.

I used to be a pc, but now I'm an Apple. I caught it for a long time, but when my Toshiba laptop failed after a year Be my gf's macbook was going strong for years. I couldn't ignore the cost savings. I got an inactivity first to work on my racing videos. It is awesome. I'be had it for two years not. Single problem. I got my macbook pro in Feb. Works great all the time. I bought parrallel to run window and the MAC OS at the same time. The window seven struggle in comparison. The issue is that all gov websites are windows based and my traqmate software only works on windows. I will be switching to the iPhone 5 many just due to having everything else Apple.

Ben... c'mon. Like Bose Im willing to bet they dont sell anything without at least a 500% mark up. The iPhone av cable is over $100... unlike smaller companies, they dont have to pass the cost of customer support on to the consumer. They can just be minimally less greddy and swallow it.
Carlos Im surpirsed, we have 4 Toshibas in my family, all have been completely problem free. Two of them are 5 and 6 years old, and are still firing on all cylinders. |
Were you running Norton anti-virus? Norton sucks. Back in early 2000s we used Norton on everything, and periodically got viruses. I use McAffee now, and have been since we got the first Toshiba, never a virus, ever. Knock on wood

My toshiba still works great too. I still use norton but i back it up with malware bytes

Carlos's drunk post inspired me to get an SIII. ;) :p
|
Good choice Ben SIII Ftw.
|
Drunk post from Droid. Don't care about the mark ups when every Apple product I have purchased works great. I can't say the same for my previous laptops from (Toshiba, Gateway, Sony).
|
I'll never buy an apple product but that is because I care more about how stuff works then how it looks.
Apple makes stuff that work with other apple stuff that's it. The flavor of BSD that they use is crap and crippled and its hard as hell to find software that will compile correctly on the damn thing with out a ton of shit that needs to be upgraded for no damn reason. And i've never run any AV software (still have one windows pc in the house) and have never gotten a virus. But I dont go to shady sites and install crap like that. |

Ben, no way, my phones msrp was $750. No way does it cost apple $400 to make an iphone. And I assume thats not their bread and butter anyways, accessories pull in a much higher profit, proportionally. And Im not saying they have to eat it, but they certainly can. Its Apple... heard of em? Ha |

I didnt like it, i used one for about a week. No keyboard sucks and the call quality was CRAPPY. Plus not being compatible with anything else i own is really annoying.

I will state it again every PC i have ever owned has had problems. Every Apple I have owned has been flawless. |

To state that people buy Apple product because they look good is the stupidest thing you have ever posted (almost). The simply perform better and offer more features. |

Compatibility with what??? |
I don't like the fact that previous version chargers and accessories won't work with newer version phones. Fucking apple just use micro usb like everyone else.

iPhone 5 will have a new port and it's a PITA.

Plus i like 3rd party apps. |
That's why you have to Jailbreak your iPhone/iPod/iPad. You can do so much more with it that way. Only downside is there is more work to doing system updates, but that's because most of the updates are to stop you from jailbreaking. I like my 4S a lot better now that it's jailbroken.

I'll take a phone i dont have to fuck with and works out of the box with stuff i KNOW its going to work with
