Comments on: Apple Mac’s Severly Lacking? http://www.surfionline.com/archives/2005/01/04/apple-macs-severly-lacking/ Chris Boulton Thu, 21 Aug 2008 11:51:40 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3 By: sockie http://www.surfionline.com/archives/2005/01/04/apple-macs-severly-lacking/#comment-385 sockie Sun, 30 Jan 2005 10:10:34 +0000 http://www.surfionline.com/archives/2005/01/04/apple-macs-severly-lacking/#comment-385 There's a reason for the price... There's no PC that's anything like the iMac. Exclusiveness and style costs. When the mainstream market is dominated by PCs, Apple's only way to really thrive as it does is to do special stuff. Besides, Apple's got affordable computers too - the eMac and now the Mac mini. And both of them are still cooler than the average PC. :P But then again, they're G4 with close architecture. :-/ Anyway, Apple's products cost here over 30% more than in the US, so I do see your point. :( There’s a reason for the price… There’s no PC that’s anything like the iMac.

And I agree, the original mac was meant to be a pc that everyone could use, and afford. But has now slipped into the thick-frame-glasses-wearing-nterior-designer group of people. interesting article you linked to, most of it was negative to the iMac, saying it lost its way.

I use an app to control iTunes with the keyboard, I bought a card reader to read my CF and I can use a splitter to have two headphones out. :D I have a Mac and I don’t feel these lacks.
