That's why I would never buy a Ferrari. In my small town, I wouldn't be able to find anyone to work on it. What a crap car.

Do you insinuate that Apple hardware is a fashion statement and not for real work? If I live in a big city can I get my iMac/MacBook fixed without scheduling in 1-2 hours? I seen the LTT saga with the iMac where they could not fix it so it would be like you crash your Ferarri and you have to wait for them to first train the mechanics and create the spare parts and after that have it fixed.

  Absolutely not! I haven't a clue why you think that. My point is, the guy I responded to complains that he can get his commodity hardware fixed anywhere while his Apple needs to be taken to a "specialty" store as if they were the same thing.

    can you respond to this :c an you get it unscheduled repairs from Apple in the same day? I had more then 1 point, let me be more clear: 1 I had more then one repair shop in a small city, so I have choices 2 I got the unscheduled issue diagnosed and fixed in max 2 hours 3 I even made a GPU upgrade and I had choices AMD or NVIDIA Btw even living in a village I can get things fixed like any other people, like when a new thing I bought broke in the first week I sent it back, it took 3 weeks to have it replaced but it works on small villages too. My example was about a PC that was important for my work and that was out of warranty, though with PCs, in the way I buy them I have warranty for each part so I have the option to go in the town, have someone test and replace the broken part(maybe I buy a cheap GPU or RAM) and send only the broken part back.

      That's great that everything works so well for your use-case but this isn't a PC vs Apple issue. There's no need to repeatedly try to convince anyone that your way is better. We all live different lives and make different choices.

        What would be wrong if Apple customers would have choices? Nobody would force you to use a third party repair shop.

  >be like you crash your Ferarri and you have to wait for them to first train the mechanics and create the spare parts and after that have it fixed. Yeah, that’s actually exactly how it works. Good luck getting spare parts for a new Ferrari, all the parts will be headed for the assembly line and not towards your car.

    Similar to Tesla then, this is not acceptable for some hardware you use to do your work. When you sell your new shiny product your repair shops should have been trained, should have all the parts,manuals, software needed to fix the problems that would appear, things break, even if the user is at fault he should be able to have it fixed.
