High cost of Macs[ Parent ] (none / 0) (#11)
by Anonymous User on Tue Mar 29, 2005 at 02:12:59 PM PDT

The high cost of Macs has more to do with low sales volume (compared to Windoz PCs) and the cost of "cutesy" and "trendy" product design than it does with the cost of support. My Dell Latitude is over 6 years old and is still going strong (only thing it can't do is play any new games). Only one failed component and that was the CD-ROM drive. Tech support had a new one on its way in no time. That was before Dell outsourced their tech support overseas however so I have no recent support experience especially as any OS issues I can solve myself.
