[QUOTE="ClockworkWorld, post: 1182044, member: 182559"] That is absolutely not true. I (and I am sure no one else here) have no misconception that what I bought is premium over anything else, for anyone else. Or that it makes us superior, or more special people. There's nothing wrong with Windows, or wanting one. it may be premium to me, because I wanted it. Same as a Windows PC whether it cost 300 dollars or one of those 5,000 dollar rigs, is premium to it's owner because it's simply what they wanted! The average Mac buyer doesn't feel special because they had money to spend. You're completely false in the "over priced" arena. The "cold hard truth" is that the hardware is [b]not[/b] the same. The i7 processor in my iMac might be the "same" as the one in a Dell, or whatever, but the machine itself has [b]far[/b] superior build quality compared to other items of the [b]same[/b] price range, designed to every mm to work with everything inside, flawlessly. That's worth something to some people, worth nothing to others. As I said, I can go to any of the major PC manufacturer sites, and build a machine that costs as much, nearly as much, and in some cases much more, than the Mac line. I have to tend to agree with 6string. The tone of this thread is like trolling. You asked for honest opinions, then want to convince everyone that they bought the wrong item, from the wrong source when an opinion is given. If that's your feelings on it, that's fine :) I'll have to respectfully bow out too. I'm not trying to say you are a troll, just the tone makes it seem likely. I really hope you're here to learn, and that whether you buy a Mac or not, you learn what you're looking for :) [/QUOTE]
