I have a MacBook too - you just can't beat Apple, can you?

 

I wish I had brought one all those years ago now, especially when you can still run Windows when you need to - excellent quality products.

They are just the loveliest things in the world but by eck do you have to pay for it mine cost £2300 It is the retina model though which is just incredible Also love my iPad but hate typing on it hence all the typos on my posts here

I have iPad 2 as well mate - and make more balls up with it - I just use it for facebook and a lot of games, along with my iPhone - God, I'm a nerd aren't I? lol

I only have the iPad 1 but as an impatient gadget freak I got mine from the states about three weeks before they were out in the uk cost me over £700 and I couldn't even use the app store as it wasn't live in the uk yet lol I did move away from the iPhone though I now have a htc one x and have never looked back. I got bored with playing cat and mouse with apple over jail breaking

To be fair to Microsoft, they don't make their own computers for public use (well, apart from Surface tablets), nor their own monitors, so they will have to use 3rd party ones. Does seem weird picking Apple, but there's no denying that they make a lovely monitor. Also Apple obviously use Intel CPUs these days, in the old days when Apple used Motorola e.t.c. you'd not see anything like this I imagine.

 

I had several Apple devices, including two iPhones, but wouldn't get another one now. Most recent phone is an Xperia P, cost £125 and does everything I need, nice screen, better touchscreen than my previous Xperia Play (which met a bit of a sticky end in an oven... long story!). Android has caught up to Apple very well on the app front, and I can't really fault the interface.

 

One thing that annoys me with Apple now is that their early generation products were about pushing the envelope, literally game-changing devices. Now though, they make minor incremental changes and expect people to buy them every year or so, while competitors have overtaken them, in terms of spec at least.

Spot on Bencrest  they are just getting greedy now expecting their loyal sheep to keep following but recently even my LOYAL apple loving friends have jumped ship so they need to up their game again IMO.

I believe this picture has been doctored with some very clever Photoshoping for a joke.

I doubt very much Microsoft would be seen to promote Apple.

Reason for MS to have Apple gear, is software development of MS products on the Apple platform..... been going on for years this.
