You have a full time job! That's incredible, you must be like some kind of god or something. But I like how your first argument was that the dell was more expensive then specs don't matter. I think you might just be trying to stir stuff or you're really dumb
No I said the Dell was only £50 cheaper...

No bullstuff reasons haha, good support is a fact. The $700 difference doesn't bother me, I have a full time job, I can afford it. Back when I was 12 I couldn't afford Macs either, I used to hate on them too. Unjust bullstuff.
Yeah, why would I void my warranty, risk breaking it when I can just walk 5 mins to the Apple shop and get it fixed no problem?
Going by the same logic with cars, most people buy cars with good warranty and then take it back to the garage if there's a problem. The majority of people in the world can't actually fix their own computer problems so the genius bar is fantastic.

Cool, buying an expensive laptop because I think design, support and operating system preference are more important than spec makes me ignorant. Lol.

Oh man, this is gold. You are trying to use a rich man argument. We do not dislike it because its expensive, as cost is not directly correlated to quality. Instead we dislike it because we find that its not worth the price it is for.

In regard to your previous arguments about it playing games, you should realize that the VAST majority of games do not support the Mac operating systems. Only recently have SOME indie games actually tried hard to make mac support on steam. It is not some old thing that people say, as it still applies currently.

And in response to your last paragraph here, I would like to add that you are correct about cars. You would go get it fixed, and that is exactly what you can do with PCs from the majority of manufacturers. The only exceptions are when the warranty comes from stores, which is even better because you generally can have it taken there and fixed for free. Not only that, but many places offer resources to help or fix your computer for free, even if you did not buy it from their store.

The only possible thing I could think of may be some software items available exclusively to the mac, but many of them are also expanding to the PC for a much more broad market.

Please tell me your warranty will only void like that if you DO break the computer....

Warranties go void if you even try to open up certain items. Of course, this is most common with mice or headsets. This is so that people cannot purposely damage items to use their warranty, for whatever reason they might want to.

For example, my headset has a volume changer. On the back is 4 screws to open it, but one has a "Void Warranty if Broken" sticker on them. Therefore, I cannot open it without voiding the warranty. This makes sense because I otherwise could just access it and cut a cable or something, and then ask for a new headset with the warranty.

Hmm, perhaps so.

It does make sense though, but since we're talking about computers, I'm sure a lot of computers get some "surgery" at some point in their lifetimes. Computers aren't really made to be permanently built a certain way (desktops). That is quite obvious from all the different websites, and even retail stores that sell computer parts. I wouldn't be surprised if some computer retailers offer special warranties for the computers that allow modification.

You dont understand.

"Warranties go void if you even try to open up certain items. Of course, this is most common with mice or headsets"

Im not talking about computers here, im talking about accessories. Of course you can open up computers and upgrade parts, but we are talking about the parts themselves opening up and editing them.

You dont understand.

Wasn't this about computers to begin with?

Yes, but do you not realize that topics diverge from one another? Besides, the discussion is related to computers. I don't understand the problem.

looking at its design rather than its specs is loving stupid

I never diverged, I was still talking about the computer.

You responded to Rub who was talking about his track pad or whatever. No, you did not diverge, but you stayed on that diversion during the discussion.

Im really not in the mood to diverge into an argument about diversion.

Hey, I hear you like divergence so we put a divergence in your divergence so you can diverge while you diverge!

But, seriously, ok. This conversation is over.

Edit: But I would like to point out that I think I see what your saying.
