You have to buy good memory. Kingston, etc.

To be honest, one of the things that it's arguably worth paying their unfuckingbelievably inflated prices for is memory. Apple tests the living fuck out of their shit, and it's ridiculously stable.

Did. Had to buy DIFFERENT good memory. We never buy no-name crap. It's never worth the trouble, from a manpower/support context.

You buy the bare machine (and yes, it's overpriced...but it includes their boot ROM whatever-the-fuck that makes it inherently a "Mac", and effectively "buys" you their full OS and future upgrade capabilities).

Everything else you buy yourself, and add.

Stupid people will always overpay for shit. Apple's good at taking their money.

I don't buy all of their shit...but some of it is just fucking spot on.

That price is for the base Mac, no upgrades.

Ya, thats my problem with MAC, its not a problem with what you get, its what you get for the price. Sure, build quality is usually fantastic, but prices are astronomical. Sure, OSX is great, it works very well, but im not about to pay that kind of money for a base mac, or even a high end one.

They make sleek gadgets, but they rip off their consumers in the process.
