Bystander50 5th Gear June 3, 2011 Share June 3, 2011 The replacement of the harddisk portion is similiar to what Compaq did to their systems in the 90s. They added a proprietary chip to the harddisk manufactured by Conners (later bought over by Seagate) so that you can only buy the replacement harddisk from them. Let's see how long Apple can survive with this type of business model. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boyboy 1st Gear June 4, 2011 Share June 4, 2011 I just use what I have found to be superior and value for money Those who refuse to touch apple, if you got 'principles', I suppose you are on Linux, right? If you use MS and diss Apple on principles, that smacks of hypocrisy. All I have is an iPod touch and iMac. Necessity. I don't own iPhone or iPad cos I don't need them. I'm not a fanboy, if MS can beat apple, good for them, I will switch Wasted too much time and money on MS based products. But I will give it to them, I think they make decent keyboards and mice I'm not advocating Apple at all. Doesn't do me any good if any of you get apple stuff, and some may actually be served better by PC/MS system. To each his own... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people need the freedom, granted. I'm just an ordinary user though. I want something which works and I don't have to fuss over. Defragmenting, virus scanning and reformatting systems are quite fun though. I still get to do so when I help troubleshoot PC systems for other people. My own system is boring, it just goes and goes, never a hiccup. Ok lah, did onsite service for my monitor (under warranty) due to a common defect (imacs get dark screen patches). There will come a day when I need to upgrade RAM. admittedly that will be something of a b!tch compared to PC system as I don't dare to open up my imac. Will find out how when the time comes. currently 4gb is more than enough for anything I do. RAM seems to go a much longer way on OS X as compared to any of the windows OS I have touched.

There may be many others who think the same, unless we are forced to use the igadgets for work, many of us will not even consider getting one. And the many who gave up using after some time. I think it is difficult to sue Apple for being anti-competitive as Mac's market share is still consider far too low compared to the normal x86 PC. Similiar for IE, they command a huge market share, that's why they are targetted. Besides, the use of propritary hardware does not hurt the businesses of the harddisk manufacturers. Apple will still need to approach these harddisk or SSD manufacturers to build for them. Just that consumers will not have much choices. Reading from the article, it may still be possible to "hack" the system for it to accept normal harddisk/SSDs. The main thing lies on the BIOS and maybe the driver.

If I'm not wrong, Mac is trying to emulate the x86/Windows architecture with one of the newer CPUs. This is probably to maintain it's survival. Going solely on it's own Mac applications, the take up rate would have been much lower. MS might not even develop a copy of Office to run on Mac.

Shiraz 1st Gear June 4, 2011 Share June 4, 2011 What Boyboy said, my sentiments exactly. I just want a phone that works well and a computer that works well. Bluetooth file transfer disabled? This has probably got to be the 'biggest overrated' 'problem' some people say of the iPhone. There are many other ways to transfer stuff on the iPhone. I'm not complaining because I don't need to transfer files over BT everyday. Maybe some people do, I wouldn't know for sure. If one day you need to transfer something, send it by apps like Whatsapp or Bump. (I know people would then say why the need for extra apps). On computers, my computers, Mac or Windows, always tend to last longer than my a few of my buddies who are constantly fiddling with their stuff. One of them has some water cooled, LED lighted CPU with a glow in the dark mouse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mllcg 3rd Gear June 4, 2011 Share June 4, 2011 (edited) If I'm not wrong, Mac is trying to emulate the x86/Windows architecture with one of the newer CPUs. This is probably to maintain it's survival. Going solely on it's own Mac applications, the take up rate would have been much lower. MS might not even develop a copy of Office to run on Mac. emulation is no use.(it still has its flaws) only one reason i dont get mac is the lack of support for MANY games unless u boot camp. but then, u are also restricted by the drivers and there is no x64. im on 8GB ram now. u cant "future proof" a mac. my this desktop is 4 years le and still going strong. and what my IT lecturers said is true. MAC computers/laptops is only reserved for those who do alot of photo/music editing. Edited June 4, 2011 by Mllcg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
