ARR and Mac

[Alhanelem]

Neither you or I would ever buy a prada bag or eddie bauer SUV's.

I understand your meaning but charging $200 more for a better processor when the exact same processor costs less than half that additional cost bought elsewhere is nothing short of exploitation of people who don't understand computers. This isn't like a designer handbag vs a walmart handbag.

OSX itself is quite nice and I wouldn't even mind trying the "hackintosh" thing sometime- But I'll most likely never buy an "actual" mac.

Wait, so you're saying that selling prada bags isn't exploitation?

He said he understands where you are coming from, but what he says is Apple sells the exact same CPU for $200 more, whereas Prada bags are't exactly the same as a cheaper one, they will have things about them different, to cheaper ones.

That's what I'm saying. No, they don't. If you see the knock-off that are being sold in third world countries. A lot of them has the same material, quality, etc. Because they came from the same workers, same factories, etc. Excusing prada but bashing on apple is, really, a bit hypocritical.
