As a Mac user, macs are not luxury devices. They are a little more expensive for a vastly (in my opinion) more coherent and Unix-y experience, in comparison to Windows machines. In reality I spent a few hundred more on a computer that I’ve used going on 5 years now, recouping the extra cost with a few more hours of freelance work.
If any software I use suddenly charged more for Mac than Windows, I would use a different product immediately.

- zzzcpan 8y agoA better experience here means just a little bit more bearable to use, not a luxury product experience.
- phobius 8y agoI'd equate it more to the difference between spending an extra $100 on a solid pair of boots which last 4x longer (cheaper over time) - we're not talking diamond-encrusted phones here (That said, Apple are doing a great job of losing this value prop) When I've bought Macs they've often been an older model - luxury-pricing-wise that's nothing next to an Alienware or Surface
