NO, it is not true that the laptops you bought were of such a poor quality.

its that you are a very very rough person who habitually misuses his gadgets
you have a very low maintenance ability

ironically you absolutely respect the MAC you bought because you practically worship the price you got it, and cant be arsed to do same for a pc that costs much much less!!!
If you were a girl and right here, I would have kissed you for this statement! So on point!!

Interesting... I got my core i5 macbook pro for N172,000 mid last year. Immediately upgraded to 8gb ram and hybrid 500Gb hdd with another N30,000 which brings it to a total of N202,000 and yet it's still way cheaper than the Envy 17 you mentioned.
Is this thread still about macbooks being so expensive? The HP Envy 17 I got for a client recently cost twice the amount I spent on my macbook pro and yet the guy is stuck with Windows OS whereas I dualboot Windows and Mac OS on my macbook pro! So who do you think got a better bargain?
The plain truth is that I don't believe macs are expensive; you really get what you pay for. I spend virtually 70% of my time on my laptop and I assure you the Mac OS gives you a far better and stable user experience. I still have qualms with Apple in some areas but largely, they've done a great work.
At the end of the day PCs will sell and Macs will sell no matter what our varied opinions may be but let's not try and cheapen and discredit the good work Apple has done in giving us an alternative to PCs. Recently, macbook sales have been on the rise because most people are just plain tired of their PCs.
How on earth did you figure a 17 inch Hp would cost the same as a 17 inch macbook pro. Do u know the 17 inch macbook used to cost over $2700? lol.. and it only had 2 gb of RAM grin

His mac pro is probably 2008/second-hand one. It costs times 2 of that for even 2011 one. And more than times 2 some months ago.

It’s amazing how people bombard windows pcs like Macs were made by God. 4llerbuntu is definitely on point!

Apple just has damn good marketing. All the parts come from asia. So they nt special just a brand name.

when ur apple gets broken or sick can you fix it urself.

Haha, apple products are for dummies.

Like the idiot that was talking about usb ports he might neva use, or the slowpoke that said apple changes ip"s, and has a sliding rom drive.

If you went deep into the computer world the pc rules cos with the pc ur the boss. You can twist , bend, break and glue it back together.

The only cool product apple inc has made is the ipod , if you ask me...amazing battery life.

OYINBOGOJU: Apple laptop are meant for Entertainment

If you are into entertainment industry ,you will cherish apple products more than other products

Which means you will cough any amount to pay for comfortability.

Smooth and Nice

Nope! Apple products are far more advanced than just entertainment appliances. If you want entertainment than you can go buy a HP Pavilion!
