    I like Dell because their support actually listens to me. "the cooling fan died" is met with a question of whether I need a technician or just the part. When I call Apple and tell them that an iMac overheats to the point of locking up, they call me a liar and hang up "if it doesn't turn off, its not overheating" Oh, really, then why is it locked up and so hot?

    "Every manufacturer has issues with their machines, including Apple"

    I used to work as an Apple repair tech, at Flextronics.

    I don't know how it is now, but not even 6 years ago 2/3 of the machines off the line were failures and needed refurbishing.

    Apple managed to keep it quiet with a ton of bullshit.

    I'm not aware of ANY manufacturer besides Apple with that shitty of a manufacturing record.

    But that's what happens when you had your stuff manufactured in Guadalajara, Mexico.
