The price is what it really takes to obtain a consistently stable, reliable platform. The components all have common sources regardless of the logo the product bears … the country of assembly is not what determines the quality of the product … quality processes do. These can be applied anywhere .. by any appropriately trained personnel.

Agreed!

I used to have fun getting PCs to work. I'm over that now. I like stability.

Sorry to hear of your problems Doug. I usually buy the extended warranty - I know I probably get ripped in the long run, but I've had some excelent assistance over the phone from AppleCare and parts replaced on two occasions.

Chris makes some good points too about business practices in general.

My only gripe about Apple products is they last so well that I can't justify an upgrade - bit worried about how my 4yo laptop & 3yo desktop will handle the files from a 36MP camera (if Nikon ever release the D800!)
