well for most people, the initial capital outlay is quite an important factor, as it can be a substantial barrier to purchasing in the first place. still as you will have noted, i haven't put the higher product cost as a bad thing, rather that it reflects the quality and function.

the bottom line is, i doubt the normal pc consumer will be worrying about the lower depreciation on the apple product and will just try to get the cheapest product they can which does the job. this probably means, with for example a laptop, a £399 i3 based machine from the high street becomes the weapon of choice. i suspect the average apple consumer, who can obviously afford the price, isn’t overly concerned either and buys on the products other merits which i mentioned.

You're absolutely correct that initial outlay is an important factor for some, and that few consumers will actually consider TCO when purchasing a computer.

That said, the Mac vs. PC debate is all about over-thinking consumer purchasing decisions. These comments are aimed at those who over-think these decisions by comparing hardware specifications and initial outlay alone.

These people will pull up a laptop of a comparable headline specification that is £200 cheaper than a MacBook Pro and declare victory. You'd have to be an idiot to buy the Mac, surely! But if the two-year residual on the MacBook Pro is £300 more than on the comparable laptop, the Mac is actually the smarter buy. Macs command a price premium on the second-hand market as well ;)

Touch wood. There have been hiccups but nothing a reboot and a hug won't fix.

Just out of interest, they come to your house for free? If so that is amazing!

Also what this at the beginning of the thread about not having cut? Is it serious or are they taking the mick?

I can honestly say I wouldn't use an Apple Mac if I was given one for free.

Then you're one of two things -

1. A fool

2. A liar

You can decide which one.

(Unless you're planning to sell it, in which case you should try it first of course).

If you live over a certain distance from an apple store, and has a iMac or mac pro and has their apple care, then yes, they will come to your house. Probably end up taking it away and returning it later but I still don't need to take it to them.

I have used them before, and I really didn't like anything about them. Selling it would be the obvious thing to do. But assuming I couldn't, it would go straight in the bin.

Don't be so ridiculous. The bin? Really?

Why is it that in these threads people leave their braincells at the door?
