How unreliable are the Apple computers they use? Or are those users that careless as to repeatedly trash their laptops? I know I will pay a cosmic price by immediately dropping my laptop just after clicking the "LEAVE YOUR COMMENT" button. Sure, newbies needs reassurance, but people who are regular computer users?īeyond that, people are saying Apple Care saved their bacon repeatedly. By the time I added a SSD to my used laptop, I had spent less than a quarter of the costs noted for the machine in the article. Why would anyone knowledgeable buy a laptop and insurance at the prices we are talking here. It takes me several minutes because I have done memory exactly once, and someone more familiar would be much faster. I can change storage in two minutes, and memory in a few. I bought it - used, non-apple - for less than the cost of just the Apple insurance by itself. I use my laptop basically all day and all evening. When did Ars allow every single Apple thread to become a troll thread?

Imagine my shock at learning that you don't think the very limitations that you claim matter so much in Apple's hardware really matter at all in Microsoft's current model of their "show OEM's how to do it right" hardware. The Surface Pro 4 is a tablet that can do similar things to a laptop, doesn't come in quad core and is a year old. How many $2000 quad core 15" laptops are using LPDDR3? Not many, if any. It just says Apple shouldn't be using LPDDR3 there. Hell, the Surface Pro 4 only has 4 Gigs of RAM in the base configuration and you have to spring for a CPU upgrade before you can even order it custom with 16 Gigs of RAM. What Laptop using LPDDR3 offers more than 16 Gigs of RAM?

I know I'll also love the 16GB RAM ceiling in my 15" MBP, so what if every other 15" quad core laptop $2000+ on the market can do 32GB or 64? It'll go great with the spinning rust hard drive in my $3000 iMac.
