proud new owner of a macbook

[Rawburt]

Quoting got screwed up. oh noez

I wouldnt want a windows computer, theyre so unreliable and the customer service sucks so much.

Unreliable? Don't be stupid with it, and you won't have that problem.

And how the bloody hell does Microsoft's customer service suck?
Does Apple send people to your house to personally fix the problem?

At least Microsoft doesn't charge $30 for every issue you have.

You do realize that mac services are usually free. I had a corrupted file due to an error in uninstallation and I took it down to the Mac store. The guy worked on it for two hours fixing and going through fixing all of the other problems made by the geek squad as well, and it was free, as are most services.

fixed that for you.

OM*G FREE CUSTOMER SERVICE I'M AN APPLE GENIUS XDDDD

do you have that apple care plan?

my question/point to you would be that if you didn't *censored.3.0* up your comp in the first place, you wouldn't have had to have customer support.

and even if customer support didn't exist, you could take the time to browse on the internet, google it, or hell, ask on a forum. (mac or otherwise @ forum type)

what was your argument, again?

what's the deal with quoting :/ MAC STORE HERE JEREMY COMES

for a second there, I wasn't sure what you were saying, due to quoting me @_@

Yeah, it was some issue with what I deleted.

Every issue I've had with Apple products cost me money to fix. :|
I blame karma.

And that is why my iPod is still dysfunctional.

The replaced my iTouch battery for free. I dunno. Everyone at the store got free services, well, if you made an appointment.

Pc users done understand how it's not te hardware that makes the Mac faster. Even if you get a higher end pc the Mac will still out do it . Psycho, your ignorant, seeing as you've noever rely used a Mac, you can't have an opinion on which is better. I've used both, and hands down the Mac is better, it's more fun to use, it's faster, and it's exclusive programs destroy windows' never ever going back to windows.

lol, i'm ignorant now.

I said if I needed to use video editing things, I would use a mac, but since I have no need for them, there is no point.

the argument being made is that the parts inside of a mac make it an overpriced computer. if you were to install the OS into a computer that you made with better parts (while being at the same price) it would obviously run better, since it would be running the same software, but have better hardware.

ex: if your mac had the PC's specs, which are much better at the same price, and still ran the mac os, it would run equally better.

you needed a mac for the final cut pro. you would have saved a chunk of money buying the windows computer, but instead, you are forced to use the mac-exclusive program.

what other programs are mac exclusive and "destroy windows' "?

also, lol @ it's more fun to use being the reason it's better.

I wouldnt want a windows computer, theyre so unreliable and the customer service sucks so much.

and video only? thats not what macs are for. Macs are for people who are into film, art, photography, graphic design, music, and other creative things.

to name a few; soundtrack pro 3, apple colour, compressor, motion, cinema 4d, dvd studio pro, ichat, iphoto, idvd, cinema tools, garage band, and imovie.

and how is an operating system being more fun and easy to use not make it better? I own windows 7, and i hate that piece of *censored.2.0*, its boring and always has the not responding *censored.2.0* happening, and other errors are frequent as well.

What customer service sucks? Microsoft or the hundreds of other companies that make computers with Windows on it?

yup, you got it right. i spent 2 hours arguing with a little asian man at acer a month ago, my power cord broke on my windows, and i needed a new one asap due to exams.

Hmm...

Technically, if they don't just replace my iPod...
I would owe them $60.

Issues:
-First, it wouldn't sync.
-Then it wouldn't play music.

You know that you could have asked for someone that spoke fluent english? If you ask, they are required to by law.

your argument was with acer customer support, not windows/microsoft. derp.

I got my ipod nano replaced with a refurbished one when the screen *censored.3.0*ed up, I think it was still in the one year warranty or whatever (barely) so it was free, IIRC.

the apple care plan/package for the ipod costs x amount of dollars, so *censored.3.0* that *censored.2.0*. my 80 gig has been fine. I paid $30 for a nice ass case, and it's more or less spotless on the inside. battery is fine, and if/when it gives out, I'll just upgrade to another one, and have an 80 gig external drive.

they were all asians, working in some building where the customer care centre was around the back away from the parking lot and around a bunch of dumpsters.

Nowhere, but if you're--ohh..

That was kind of pointless.
It's just that--(Not trying to be racist here.)most people from other companies that work with Customer Support don't tend to speak fluent English.

Wait, where you there in person? Because I don't think that law applies if you're not on the phone. :gyroidconfused:

I'm too lazy to read anything, but if this relates to anything in the last 14 pages here is my opinion: Apple makes great laptops. But their portable devices are crap.

i have an HP also, had to pay 60 bucks for recovery discs that shouldve come with the computer.

Coming from opinion? Because if we're going by what everyone else has been going by in other threads, the quality and amount of work certainly beg to differ. Not to mention the amount of people, including windows people, that own an iPad or iTouch or iPod Classic.

pardon my language, but what the *censored.3.0* does india have anything to do with acer being the customer support that david encountered? :/

did you pay $60 from microsoft, or HP? my compuer (vista, one and a half years old) gave me he option to burn/make my own backup discs probably an hour after I set it up the first day. I'm going to assume microsoft didn't give them away due to them not being the ones tha messed up, and not knowing if you're just trying to get another copy of the discs, but still, sorry bout that bad customer support.

why did you need the recovery discs, btw? I've used mine once, simply to install vista onto my bigger hard drive, before I realized I really shouldn't have, due to speed.

he didn't call microsoft.

he went to the acer customer support, physically.

for a power cord.

microsoft had/has nothing to do with it, as microsoft didn't make the power cord.

the only thing microsoft/windows had to do with his problem, was that it was the OS he was running, not that the power cord failed.

whut.

 

[Rocketman]

Sounds like a nice computer, but unfortunately I can't pull 1,000 dollars out of the air. I'm used to hand-me-downs and lesser computers. Barely Competent.
