Eyop: Apple mac books are truly overpriced i concur 100% to that.

In my opinion, with Apple macbooks, you definitely get what you pay for. I've had a macbook for nearly seven years now till I got the retina mac pro (the graphics are to die for shocked), and I never had a problem with it or took it to a repairer. Macs are just simple, easy to use, professional. Words can't describe the experience.

Yes i know the retina mac pro is fantastic but sincerely is overpriced. It's all about choice to decide to buy or not.

slimpoppa: Apple Ipads.
I disagree with that. iPads are not overhyped/overpriced. They are durable and have a better battery life than the average tablet.

Re: 5 Gadgets That Are All Hype And Overpriced by Nobody: 1:19pm On Aug 30, 2014
I concour with beats heahphones they can only render lower sounds well. Bass heavy sounds. Their pre-built in amps are shit. If u are an audiophile who places emphasis on the the mids terble den u would be left disappointed. If u use them with portable gardgets like ipad phones then they are not to bad buh once u coonect them to a good audio processor with a class D-amp then u hear how terrible they are.

ayex2013: Here are some of the worst price gadgets everyone seems to want or have. You can’t win with these guys so it’s best to just keep your money and buy more reasonable alternatives. Checkout our list of 5 Gadgets That Are All Hype And Overpriced;
1. Beats by Dre

The entire line is complete crap, especially for their ridiculous prices. Did you know that Beats Pro/detox that you saved over 500 dollars to get cost only 3 dollars to make and is still a crap quality headphone? Just giving you the facts people. Yo are buying a lifestyle when you should be buying quality.
2. Samsung Phones

I do not have to reiterate how annoying these are. I mean, they are Android smart phones made entirely of plastic with a weak ass Gorilla glass thing attached to the front. Drop ones and it breaks. And you are expected to shell out over a hundred thousand naira to buy these phones most of the time if you want a flagship something. Can’t be life.
3. Apple Mac Books

Do me a favor, when you are done with this post, kindly take a stroll over to Jumia and check out Mac Book prices… The go all the way up to about a million naira. For a laptop, that needs to charge with electricity and you still have to pay for internet. No Bueno Amigo!!!! The price just doesn’t add up to what we are buying. Sorry!
4. Samsung TVs

The other day mans is strolling through the mall and I see this curved LED TV by Samsung for 30 million naira… No mistakes guys, I call the attendant and asked if there was some kind of error and she did well to hold back her laughter in mockery of my obvious confusion… Then you start to look around and you begin to notice the prices on these things. Samsung needs to be stopped!
5. Smart Watches

The new rave of the moment, everyone wants a Moto 360 or a pebble that will set you back 700-800 dollars, Money that can buy land. And all the watch will do is notify you when your phone is ringing and tell you time and weather. Alright guys, I understand the foolishness. Well done! OBO!

The mac book pro from a purley performance perspective is a dam rip-off if u compare to a windows machine at the same price. Now if u dnt want performance u are the MS-office kinda guy the the surface pro 3 is the laptop/tablet to get. Anytime I am out of the city my ipad is just a play tool. With a surface if I am in the field I can use auto card to do basic drafting, use ms office has a god dam usb that's is the most important of them all. And the surface pro 3 is more powerful than the average 120-150k laptop u buy in computer village.

Enjoy all the perks of going to the movies right in
the comfort of your own home!

Earlier this week,
Samsung released a 110-inch TV that has four
times the resolution of standard high-definition TV
for a cool $152,000(over #24 million).
The 4K TV has a resolution of 3840-by-2160 and is
roughly the size of a king-sized bed. Though
shipping logistics would be a nightmare, Samsung
said that it has already received 10 orders for the
latest premium TVs from customers in the Middle
East.
Despite the staggering price, Samsung’s 110-inch
TV is not the worlds most expensive television.
Panasonic sells a 152-inch 4K television for
$500,000 and C Seed offers one with a retractable
201-inch screen for $655,000, according to TIME.
Currently, the new Samsung TV is only available in
South Korea, but the brand plans to launch it in
China, the Middle East and Europe soon. It will be
available for special order in the U.S. in the first
quarter of 2014.

I had Windows laptops for several years and decided to change to Apple Mac two years ago. Not going back to Microsoft Windows ever. My Mac runs effortlessly, has not crashed, takes seconds to load, I do not need to constantly run Anti virus software or worry about downloading trojans or spyware inadvertently, quite secure, the keyboard illumination suits me perfectly. My wife and I were on our Window's third laptop and two of them are gathering dust somewhere and dont get me started on Windows 8.1 lipsrsealed
Apple Macs are on the expensive side but now I know why professional DJs, Film and Music Producers, Graphic designers or Animators use Apple...they clearly arent overhyped.

Have to agree on the Samsung phones, my wife absolutely hates her Samsung S4 and she had to change it twice due to unexplainable battery drains.

All na vanity!
That's the philosophy of the poor my friend. The man who was credited with that saying had the most expensive things during his day. in fact he was so rich that he had 1000 ladies at his beck and call. If he was to be alive today, he will not use 200 niara ear piece nor 15k techno

Things like phones are much more than the sum of their functions,they are status symbols..even in America,ownership of an iPhone confers a certain prestige to the owner,so also in Naija even the very best of Tecno is still Chinko, yes it gets the job done,but I bet you if you have the means,you'll be rocking an HTC One or Galaxy Note 3..
