Never Buy A Piece Of Fu*king Sh*t Apple Computer

[jon@af]

FUCK!

I am seriously ready to throw this fucking piece of shit out the motherfucking window! I've owned it for 2 years and the fucking things has only shit on me since I paid WAY too much for something that is supposed to be top of the fucking line in computers.

First it was the multiple hard drive failures (4 all replaced). Then it was the ruined screen, then the failed keyboards (2), then the bad battery and charging board, then the repeatedly failing DVD drives (3) and NOW my fucking internet doesn't work a lick. It will work - maybe every other day or so. It works for about a day and then doesn't work for 2 days. It MIGHT work for 2 days and then doesn't work for a fucking week SON OF A BITCH APPLE, MAKE SOMETHING WORTH FUCKING OWNING. ALL YOUR SHITTY PRODUCT HAS DONE IS SHOWN ME JUST HOW FUCKING MUCH I HATE YOUR COMPANY AND THE COMPLETE AND UTTER GARBAGE YOU PRODUCE.

Note to everyone DO NOT purchase an Apple computer. There is a reason they have such good customer service - it's the only thing that gets people to come back. However, I will NEVER buy another piece of shit from this worthless fucking company. I don't generally swear that often anymore but this machine has seriously chapped my ass.

/end rant.

Apple is shit.

Been running Macs for years and love it. No issues except wear and tear. I own 2 of them right now and will be buying the new 3G July 11th. Sorry to hear you had so much trouble J.

[Sal Collaziano]

I switched to Macintosh in November and I'm not having any issues.. I love not having most of my memory used-by by security applications...

[Hungrycat7]

Well now I am torn. My girl and I were thinking about a Mac. We decided against it when I saw the first two posts but then the next two sound good. What is one to do?

[lamehonda]

All computers are crap. Too many people waste there cash upgrading to the next big thing. Take a vacation instead and keep the ol' Tandy a couple of more years.

[Hungrycat7]

I don't know if they are all crap. . . I have been through a ton of crappy computers. I now have two Dells. One lap top that is about two years old that still runs perfect. And one desk top that is now about 7 years old. That thing is still going strong even though it has been hooked up to high speed internet and never had virus protection. Probably just lucky I guess but I will always go back to Dell until I have a problem.

I am not much of a computer guru at all by I hate apple computers. They are overpriced and lacking.

[drunken monkey]

I've always been of the mind that the average home user does not ever need a Mac.

Where as I believe the complete opposite. The average home owner does in fact need a Mac more then they need a PC. Think of it this way, what do most people use there computer for? Surfing the web, uploading photos/videos, video chatting, downloading or listening to music. The Macs allow you do this with so much ease. Macs are great for people who are not interested in programming and playing video games. They are great computers for college kids, parents and the novice user while at the same time they dominate the entertainments industry.

The only people I've heard complain about Macs are the die-hard PC users who hate Apple's OS. I've never heard of anyone have so much hardware trouble. Maybe a bad motherboard or power supply is slowly killing all of these components? After the 3rd or 4th hd failure the Apple techs should have started to suspect something else.

[jon@af]

I love the OS, but everything else is shit. I've never had so many problems with a computer in my life.

[Toksin]

Saw the title and though "AGAIN?"

Dude, what the hell? Everyone else I know with Macs love them and have never had any issues.

I've had my powerbook for almost 3 years and never had any problems except self inflicted problems. By self inflicted I mean:

~dropping it out of my car onto pavement... no probs but a scratch and small dent in side.

~Spilling a large glass of water onto keyboard and charging port while plugged in. By the way this was in the middle of the night and I awoke to the smell of ozone and a weird buzzing coming from it. At first I though it was fried but after letting it dry I discovered the only thing wrong was my battery doesn't hold a charge and my sound stopped working.

I find it to be a great computer except for when I have compatability issues with games or programs. other than that its great.


Sorry to hear about your probs Swigz, maybe you got a bad egg??
