Apple Store

It is what it is. Overpriced lust. Apple is lost on me to a large extent, and I’ll explain why.
The iPhone, certainly far from the best smart phone available yet people will pay in excess of £40 a month for the privilege. The new one for example is plagued with software issues, serious concerns over call dropping and has a slower processor than many of it’s smarter rivals.
The iMac laptops on offer in this post modern, minimalistically decadent store begin at well over £1000 for a proper one (not counting the under powered white cheap plastic model). For say £1300 you get a laptop with reasonable computing power, able to run most programs without problems or fuss. For £1300 in the world of PCs you could build a machine which would make NASA proud.
Ok, in the long run they may be more stable (they do crash, I’ve seen them do it) and they are fantastic pieces of engineering, but, they have no personality, you can’t add or customize or take-​away, your mac… is someone else mac. The price, excessive beyond excessive. The software limitations are endless (although the large desktop macs are superb for page and graphic design).
Anyway, that was my rant over. The iPad doesn’t require any argument against because it’s so self-​explanatory that I won’t waste your time.
The store tempts the weak minded to part with huge sums of cash, they should know better.

Can you say «drool»? The Apple store stocks every single Apple product on the face of the earth (as you would expect). And for a drooling fangirl/​geek like me, this makes it Utopia. But what makes it even better is that the staff are all Mac Geeks too who know everything there is to know about Apple fans and will do their best to give whatever discounts they can so that you can «evangelize» your purchase to your friends. It’s clearly all part of Steve Jobs evil plan to take over the world. He certainly knows the way to my heart anyways.
