The majority of people do not care about the same things we (HN) do. My friends will by Macs regardless because they are scared of something different.

- matt4077 10y agoPlease stop insinuating people buying a MacBook are somehow stupid b/c they're easily manipulated by shiny surfaces or brands, or simply incapable of learning a new system. There are many many comments you can easily find where Mac users give specific reasons as to why they prefer them, such as macOS and its Unix-ness, build quality, screen quality, attention to detail, battery live, and the sorry state of Linux on the desktop. To insist on the reasons you're giving is acting in bad faith.
