One advantage Apple has here is they’ve eliminated the tyranny of choice that I see with non-Mac laptops. Which one should I buy? How much should I spend? What do I really need? I am paralyzed. OTOH, I know an MBP will do fine, and the price is $1200, which is steep, but I have nothing to compare it to. Not saying this is good, but I would think this drives a lot of inertia, which Apple is certainly counting on as they try to improve their profit margins.
