Hardly surprising that people expect premium experiences after paying premium price for both software and hardware. That's why people are so easy to bash Apple, because they say that they are perfection. When something happens that are not perfection, people blame Apple.
You get the response based on the expectations you set. And with both price and messaging, Apple puts the expectations very high, while sometimes failing to reach them.
- kmlx 5y ago> premium price does Apple still have a premium price? feels like all the manufactures have similar prices to Apple nowadays.

Sample is likely not representative. (The largest constraint was selecting another device with a 2560×1600 display resolution.)
- xondono 5y agoIf you think those two are equivalent you are out of your mind.
- eqvinox 5y agoLooks like the site miscategorized the Dell one as "ultracompact professional" when it isn't. I didn't double check that, sorry. Here's another one: https://geizhals.eu/?cmp=2285948&cmp=2511228 https://geizhals.eu/?cmp=2285948&cmp=2511228

- user-the-name 5y agoThe price of macOS is $0.00.
- swiley 5y agoThe price of MacOS is sending telemetry to Apple on every exec().
- user-the-name 5y agoThis is a gross misrepresentation of what is going on.
- swiley 5y agoOh so the machine isn't sending a hash of the binary on exec? Tell me what I got wrong.
- user-the-name 5y agoA hash of a binary is not "telemetry", is what you got wrong.
- swiley 5y agoI don't understand what the difference is from the perspective of the user.
- user-the-name 5y agoTelemetry is collected and stored and potentially linked to a user. This is not.
- swiley 5y agoHow exactly do you know it's not? Do they even say it isn't? Why would you trust them at this point?
