I've got young kids. Any laptop without a magsafe power connector is going to be starting at a huge disadvantage, as far as my deciding to purchase it. That includes the USB-C-only Macbook. Add being the only manufacturer (and software company—actually that part's probably more important) that gives even half a damn about battery life, and getting something unixy without the pain of Linux (also a long-time Linux user, so yeah, I know how it is), and my not caring about more than Intel graphics (discrete graphics in a laptop: always a mistake in my experience) and anything remotely close costs just as much anyway, so I'll just go with Apple. Competition would be great, but there's just... none.
