Do you like Samsung or Apple? What is your weapon of choice?

I like Samsung because it is an industry leasder in innovation. Apple, on the other hand, just copies from Samsung and pretends that the similarities are not any such thing. The say that Apple's products were designed independent of Samsung. Yeah, right. Rolling Eyes

Samsung should sue fo patent violation.

Don't like American products don't buy them. I have a Samsung computer and it has served me well for about 5 years now.

It depends what products. I had an Ipod but I hated Itunes so much that I gave it to my brother and bought a cheap Korean MP3 player. Tbh, the cheapo unit sounded much better than the ipod and was far easier to use. However, it was made from plastic and cheap components so it didn't last long. Apple don't skimp on production costs, but the way they force you into using their software chafes my sack. I own a Macbook Air, and use it for Windows 7 just because OSX seems a little lightweight. However, I use my hackintosh PC mostly for OSX music DAWs like Logic and Ableton.
I have a Note 2 phone and it is quite good. I am a fan of big screens though.

I bought a really nice cheapo Korean MP4 once. It was really attractive thin small and nice looking. It worked great while it worked, which was only about 6 months.

I agree with cj1976. I like my ipod, but prefer windows- except for creative stuff- then Apple is awesome! (The only thing that I don't like about Apple is the lack of a delete key. (Having only a back-button is very limiting.)

BTW, thinking about the Itaewon fire of the Apple resellers this past fall makes me think of this: A Samsung a day keeps the Apple away. Wink

Me too. Here's a recent rumour coming out of The Wall Street Journal that says they're making two bigger phones - 4.5 inch and bigger than 5 in.


As for the topic at hand, I prefer Apple products, but I still like Samsung and I'm happy that there is competition.

I've used both, but currently have a Samsung notebook and an S4. I had a macbook in university, but I just prefer windows. Same goes for mobile. I prefer android and unfortunately there aren't many android options outside of LG/Samsung here. I wish HTC had more of a presence.

I have an iPhone 5 and a note 3 and I don't really mess with the iPhone anymore. It feels so dinky compared to the s4 and especially the note 3, which is a super freak machine.

I've had both Samsung and Apple phones and strongly prefer Apple. The new iPhone 5s rocks! Texting in Korean on the iPhone is easier/faster than texting in Korean on the GalaxyS4.

My macbook pro has a delete key. I prefer Samsung phones, but use my computer for Adobe, so prefer Apple for that.

The key says "delete" but it actually functions like a backspace key. Of course, you can use the "delete" functionality by holding the function key while you press the "delete" key.

I switched from PC to Mac about 3-4 years ago... and am happy with the move. I always had issues with my PC crashing every so often before. My iMac's been running well for years now - stress free. Works well with my iPhone and iPads.

I get why ppl don't like iTunes though - hated it on PC. Seems to flow much better on my Mac. /shrug
