I haven't noticed much acknowledgement of sole traders, as they're called in the UK. Very often when I see someone who's working for themselves they have a Macbook Air. While they're more expensive to buy new than many Windows laptops, the general sentiment from those I've spoken to seems to be: * It's worth the extra money for more reliable operation and fewer worries about malware. * Buying used is much less of a lottery. They tend not to have hidden problems. * Selling used means you actually get some return to put towards your next device. I see people using Office and Chrome or Safari - and not much else.
