if you think of selling your mbp, I would like to help you, and buy it from you, just to spare you the pain, and effort. You can always buy a acer or a dell for half of that price. and you can buy a mac, or something else, when you grow up and see the real thing behind the price. I agree with you 100% macs are not for kids.
Haha, thanks but I'll still need a laptop (my school promotes a 1-to-1 laptop program in which every student has to have a laptop), and even if I wanted to sell it, I most probably couldn't, as I live in Vietnam. But thanks anyways!
P.S. I'm building a higher spec gaming oriented PC, so I'll use my mac solely for work, which my mac is absolutely perfect for
what is the average salary in Vietnam? Here in Danmark is around 2500 Euro. This might be one of the causes that influence you when one might buy a computer. I lived some years in Romania, where the average salary was around 300 euro....an I would never buy a mac there. See my point?
Umm, I think that I made the wrong impression. I don't have a salary, in fact I am merely a 15 year old schoolboy who lives on his father's salary. Oh and I was in S. Korea when I bought it (I move countries every 3 years because my father works in an international company), so I don't really know his salary.
dear friend, you did not made the wrong impression. I know you are underage from the way you wrote. Because macs, and in general, apple products carry a premium price, they are targeted for specific people. I asked how much the medium salary is in the country you are...not your fathers salary
)) . Now, I totally understand why some people would say macs are overpriced, or macs are the way they are, and money is always a factor. In my opinion, for a kid, is not a good investment in a expensive computer. Macs are very reliable, you do not have precious information on your computer...except some photos with your friends. But if you work on some research, or you write a book on power electronics, maybe you care much on your work, and fear to loos it, by using a pc, and by extension a Microsoft product. I understand why some professionals would stick to what they know, and not buy a mac, or why some people who like to mess up with their computers will not pay for a mac. Understandable all the way. People do not know how hard and how much work is put into making something reliable, beautiful and powerful, they do not understand, because they don't have the slightest idea on silicon manipulation, material design, electronics, programming, and much much more. For them it is only about price. When you ask people on forums their opinion, believe me, you ask people most likely who do not know what they are write-ing about, they read some where something, and reproduce it to you, it is not their opinion, is something distorted and inaccurate. How many on this forum have a Master Degree in electronics, or mechatornics, or computer science, or power electronics, or even design? Maybe none... but we go and talk about design, cpu temperatures, power dissipation, price marketing and so much more that we do not have a clue. Let's ask some real professionals about this? lets ask a programmer with 20 years experience his opinion about osx architecture... let's ask a designer about his opinion on mac book air or iMac, let's ask a doctor in electronics his opinion on the structure inside of the mac...not cooks, photographers, kids, economists and people who have no education in the matter. What do you say? lets's ask some real people about how sheety the macs are? just to get a fair opinion.
