    I don’t think the people that they are marketing to (people who buy Apple products) care. They will buy it just because it’s Apple.

      There are many, okay dozens, of us that buy what best suits our needs. Mac laptop for work management and interface, Android phone for self, Windows PC for son, and a few linux boxes for number crunching.

          Well made, dependable, fast, and similar enough to linux that I can do a lot of cross platform development between the two without much issue.

              A Mac has the unique capability of running fully licensed and supported macOS and iOS. Plus it can run Window, Linux, and Android, just like everything else.
