EU Says Apple's Warranty Advertisements Are Unacceptable

An anonymous reader writes "The European Union believes that Apple should be investigated for the way that it advertises warranties on their products. EU Justice Commissioner Viviane Reding wrote to the member countries which is 27 to ask them to check whether Apple retailers failed to let buyers know about the right to a minimum 2-year warranty for products such as the iPhone and iPad under EU law."

    Don't break his rhetoric with fact - he's on a roll. When you figure in the service and tech support you get that are usually extra from PC manufacturers, the charge for the OS built into the price, and the use of substandard parts - forcing immediate upgrades for out-of-the-box PCs, they are about on kilter with each other for average machines. Some products don't hold true with this though - their entry-level notebooks are a bit high for what you get.

    Do work in professional audio/video or work in graphics, a Mac is the cheapest route to go.

    There really is no legit reason why a Mac will cost 1.5 - 2 times more than a similarly specced Windows PC. -.

    Sure there is... It has an Apple logo on it. People will pay more for that. Period.
