"Flash the brand?" Really?
I bought an MBP last year, because I needed a new computer and I still think the Macs are the best for my needs, in both software and hardware. And I am most definitely a professional user.
Do I wish it had a few more ports and a quieter keyboard? Yes!
Did that ever seriously threaten my purchase? No!
I don't think anybody who wants to just show off the logo is going to buy an MBP over a straight MB, which is lighter and (IMO) better looking.
But is that even "a thing" with computers in 2018?
- gaius 9y ago"Flash the brand?" Really? I don't know where you are but in the UK there is a TV ad suggesting a MBP is the ideal machine for parent to buy a first-year undergrad. The prioritization of thinness above everything else - when there is already the Macbook Air for that market segment - is a further example. I'll buy a brand new MBP as soon as there is a compelling reason to replace my 10 year old one. That just hasn't happened yet.

If you're satisfied with the performance of a Core 2 Duo, still able to get fresh batteries, too old for your eyes to benefit from a Retina display, and don't want to shave off 25-40% of the weight, then why do you expect that there ever could be a compelling reason to replace your current MBP? If you don't want anything more from your computer, then how is anyone supposed to entice you with a computer that does more?
