I've been a mac user for a long, long time... but their approach to their hardware offerings has been abysmal over the past couple of years.
The pivot from being the tool of choice for professionals to being the word processor and social media browsing terminal for ignorantly enthusiastic consumerists has been unappealing to say the least.
