You know, I was gonna write something more diplomatic, but since you clearly have a penchant for grand, sweeping statements that are utterly baseless, I'm gonna be blunt.
The above quote is bullshit. Complete and utter bullshit. Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit. Bullshit written by someone who has convinced himself that he knows more than everyone else. God knows there are plenty of things about Apple that one could criticize, but the claim that their products are low build quality or unreliable is -- again -- bullshit.
Who knows why we ever bother with critical reviews of products from technology journalists at CNet, Engadget, Wired, etc. Clearly those guys know nothing. If some random dude on a forum says they're low quality, then it must be true. I mean, he used CAPS and everything!
Of course he's right!

They make NICE LOOKING computers...of low quality and difficult upgradeability, compared to others.

Bullshit.

What they do well, is make incredibly dumb tv spots for incredibly dumb consumers who like to be sold objects that the hustler is calling "magical and magically easy".

Of course they do. Because everyone that enjoys products other than your own personal favourites is a "dumb consumer". Dismissive and condescending statements about millions of people one has never met is definitely the way to go. Never gets old.

Again - bullshit.
It is at this point that I'm guessing you're gonna feed us some cock-and-bull story about how you/your friend/roommate/neighbour's brother-in-law's pet dog had Apple Device X that gave him/her problems to no end, and it broke apart after 17 minutes, and the Customer Support wouldn't help, and he wasted his hard-earned money, and yada yada yada.
Let me go ahead and make a pre-emptive objection: bullshit.
