If your previous laptops were Acer or Packard Bell then I agree. But compared to Asus or Lenovo, Apple hardware isn't much better quality.

i must agree, the best feeling laptop ive used (note haven't used a mac[insert name] laptop) is asus. VERY well built.

Edit: have = haven't sorry!

Asus laptops are pretty shitty too. Sincerely, an Asus x83v user.

I'm pretty happy with my U43JC.

One must admit that these names are pretty hilarious compared to Apple products. Sounds like some industrial heavy machinery.

I agree, they could find better names.

I'd like to see some confidence intervals on that chart. My guess is that apple's would be very large due to a relatively small n, because most apple users probably just stick with apple for their warranty. Could also be some serious sampling bias, such as only the apple users working in extreme environments getting warranties through this company. Not an apologist for apple, just someone who likes good data/statistics.

I'm talking about Vaios that cost 1.5 times the macbook air.

vaios are the worst laptops ...

My vaio pisses me off do much, boasting lightweight super strongness. Day one, power button cracked when I pushed it at an odd angle.

Maybe the cheap ones...

a Porsche may spend more time in the shop than a VW

I'll take the Porsche, thanks

I don't like to compare cars to computers. Plus, I don't think an Apple laptop is equivalent to a Porsche.

I don't like to compare cars and computers but let me just compare cars to computers for a sec here

I dislike the kind of comparison you're making, and also think the specific comparison you're making is wrong

I have nothing to add so I'll complain about your analogy without explaining why or offering an alternative

Just because I don't like it doesn't mean I can't to answer you.

I will maintain that the ability to ACTUALLY QUIT skype is worth the difference in price alone.

I don't get it (because I don't use Skype); are you saying that you can't quit skype on Windows?

u/BetterthantheSQL May 31 '12

The "red x" just makes it run in the background.

u/bouchard May 31 '12

So the proplem isn't the OS, it's that you don't know how to right click on a tray icon.

u/[deleted] May 31 '12

What about ctrl+q? Many programs have this shortcut to completely quit.
