- Daniel Jalkut on Apple’s Price-Paid-to-Satisfaction Ratio ★
-
Daniel Jalkut, who is disappointed in the noise defects of his $2000 MacBook Pro and $2500 Power Mac, but pleased as pie with his two iPods:
Seems the more money I give Apple, the less satisfied I am. The two most expensive products listed above are the two that have caused me the most grief. Shouldn’t Apple be making customers of its $2500 products as giddy as customers of its $200 ones?
I have to say, the only Apple product I’ve purchased in recent years which I consider nearly perfect is my $99 iPod Shuffle.

In fact, Jobs told shareholders he plans to spend more time at Apple after he relinquishes his chief executive job at Pixar when the studio’s merger with Disney closes in two weeks.
