I doubt you know what you’re talking about.
It’s never been about a status symbol for me. I don’t regret switching to Apple 20 years ago and the very little amount of time I spend fighting the OS to do what I need it to on a daily basis.
If anything, I have to put up with schmucks telling me I bought apple hardware for looks more than I enjoy any sort of status symbol for owning it.
- jowsie 6y agoYou might have been the average apple user 20 years ago, but times have changed.
- butterisgood 6y agoMy point is your perception is YOUR problem - not those who use something for their own benefit. Also fuck your opinion of anyone using A Mac. Seriously. Fuck off.

- ActorNightly 6y agoWhile Mac computers aren't bad, its generally a consensus that they are not worth the price for any tangible thing (same performance/functionality and the ability to repair the computer easily can be had for lower cost). This is also compounded by the recent bloat in Catalina with permissions, and continuous locking down of Apple to the point where you can't run a lot of free software on it (like VMWare Player) that you can on other computers. There is definitely an aspect of aesthetics when it comes to why people purchase this, so the guy you are replying to is kinda correct.
