Apple hardware I have owned has been more reliable because Apple has complete
control over the hardware and the specifications for the components. I
have mostly used pre-owned apple products and I have been very pleased with them
from a quality standpoint. I think they do a little better than some of
the other tier one PC makers. That is only my opinion
though.</SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>

integrated - network and Bluetooth are prime examples - that they work easily,
as you wish they would from the start. This may be the case with Windows
Vista or 7 but I have not experienced them personally yet and my expectations
are naturally low.</SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>
