The Waitrose/John Lewis/Marks and Spencer of Technology. People will pay a higher price for a good product, where as a lot of people feel they get the same for less without the brand of fancy packaging.

Apple really have got their marketing spot on.

PC, white, ipod brand, pricey, Mac.
Overpriced, overhyped and under-specced products.
Definitely overpriced and over hyped. I've never really been a fan of it even though I do have an iPod.

Apple Inc. screwing over Apple Corps. big time
Effective marketing and shrewd strategy.
When i think Apple i think 'preying on the minds of weak uninformed individuals'
Screwing over customers, DRM, turning music from a product into a service, complete abhorrent evil.

A novelty which soon wears off.
What comes to mind: stylish, sleek, well designed products, a youth brand, safari, itunes, ipods, iphone.

I think some products e.g. Macs are overpriced hence why I won't buy one but they really opened up the music player market and made others buck up their ideas.

I think if their Mac were cheaper they could really contend with other laptop makes more so then they currently do.

OP why don't you make one survey? Like on survey monkey or the equivalent?
great high quality & high performance products that last
