Given the poor state of Apples PC hardware, I would be weary of investing in the platform as a developer or user.

  When pedants attack: Weary = Extremely tired, exhausted. Wary = Fearful or nervous about, having trepidation. Example: I am weary from investing so much time and effort in Apple's platform. Being so deeply invested, I am wary of further investments until I can diversify. This is confusing as hell because "wear" sounds the same as "ware" and weary is a real word and will not upset your spellchecker. Of course "weary" sounds different than "wear", with the first sylable rhyming with ear. Thanks English. Anyhow, misuse of words like this reduces the impact of your communication. I hope this explanation can help you be a bit more effective in expressing yourself.

    > Wary = Fearful or nervous about, having trepidation. 'Leery' also means that, which is where I think the confusion comes from.

  What poor state? The hardware is ok, design still top notch despite going downhill, a few components above average (ex SSD), otherwise it’s just stupidly expensive on the high-end.

    Don’t all of the recent MacBook Pros and Airs have low relatability scores? That may factor in to some people’s decisions.
