These conversations are pointless to have because you are stating your particular preference for hardware, but those preferences are defined by a more intrinsic preference for Apple. What is going on mentally is that you chose a product based on something else than objective metrics (usually vanity), however for whatever reason it seems shameful to admit that to yourself, so instead what you do is that you implicitly assume that all of the properties of that object is good, and that anything that doesn't have that is bad. This is a common human bias btw, nothing wrong with that. But you should be aware of this. Because , the annoying part of it, and arguably self destructive, is when you start making crazy incorrect objective statements about the world based on those biases like "the keyboards and trackpads on a lot of the non-Apple laptops out there are very bad". Instead, you should say "I just really like the feeling of using an Apple product, and Im ok with paying more for that even I don't get any objective advantage, and I don't care enough to explore switching cause it works for me".
