Apple's target market is rich people who drive Mercedes S550 and don't mind buying a new PC every year or two. they care more about the brand and the experience than how much time the product is in the shop. Hardly. Apple doesn't sell well over a million computers per quarter by catering only to the rich. They have to market to everyone, and their increasing market share is a testament to the fact that at least OS X is turning more people on than ever. if instead you drive Toyota Camry and have the unreasonable expectation that your products should not break, you might look to a brand that is actually reliable like Lenovo. I understand your frustration with the Consumer Reports info you posted about Apple's hardware reliability vs. the competitors. That was certainly shocking news to me. I will hold out hope it's a wakeup call to Mr. Jobs & Company. The last thing Apple needs is to get the reputation Dell and Gateway have for using dirt cheap components to maximize profit at the expense of reliability.
