This is pretty crappy generalization. Much more accurate would be to say "people with shitty laptops" or even better "people with laptops that have short battery life or glare screens". I have a non-Mac and I don't have to do either of the two things you listed. That's because I put great care into selecting my machine and because I don't like paying out the ass for Apple's overpriced laptops, although I know a lot of people who do. (I do have an iPhone 4S, but not because of the hardware)
