Macs Cheaper than Dell but I'm still pissed off Options

Yeah, they may be cheaper but what is starting to get to me is the fact that Apple upgrades their machines beyond processors and yet I have no way to really upgrade without selling my machine and buying a new one. They added another Firewire port to the Macbook Pros and that was something had I asked them about before I bought mine and they (Apple Sales and Apple Store Associate) told me that they would not add a port in the near future... BS.

Eh, I'll keep mine for a year, then upgrade.

it's also worth noting that the dell 3 year in home warranty is $200 and the apple 3 year take it to an apple store warranty is $350.

you're not seriosuly trying to say that dell has good support, are you?

they've consistently gotten worst-of-the-worst scores on customer service from multiple sources, consumer reports coming to mind first.

considering i had to spend 47 minutes on the phone with them to get them to ship me a goddamn box to ship my computer back to them for a power supply problem (which i made as clear as possible as to that being the exact problem during their pitiful "diagnosis" stage), i myself have a few choice words about dell support. I will never buy another dell.
