All,
I can't help but wonder if Apple pays reviewers. I mean all of their products seem to get glowing reviews and I don't understand why. Maybe it is just me.
The screen on the Macbook Pro is average. Sony, HP, and Toshiba laptops all have better screens. The screens on Apple notebooks are always about one generation behind the PC laptops.
Has anyone sued Apple for being burned by the bottom of the laptop? The bottom of the laptop is very hot. I cannot believe that management let the product ship this way. I would think it would open them up to a potential lawsuit. In any event it is way too hot.
Those are two things I observed from messing with the thing for 5 minutes in the Apple store. How can these reviewers not be making major issues of these things when they have units to use for days before a review?
The iPod is another big mystery to me. There are much better players out there. I bought one for my wife and was so ticked off. It looks like new and is dead 1 year and 1 month after purchase. I had to replace the screen on it myself once as well. The design is horrible.
There was a quote from Bill Gates saying that there are much better MP3 players on the market. I laughed because I always figure Bill is telling a story. This was one time he wasn't telling a tall tale. Bought the wife a Creative Nano to replace her iPod. She love it and so do I. Putting songs on it is so much easier. I don't have to mess with iTunes at all. I can just drag and drop songs to it like a memory stick. It has an FM tuner on it so I didn't have to pay money for an add on like I did on the iPod.
I just don't get it. Is the Apple marketing department really that good?
Regards,
Ocriss
