I buy Windows computers from HP and Dell and hardly notice the difference between the two companies. I don't worry that they might stop producing PC's, because I am sure somebody will.

It's not just about getting some sort of PC. It's about finding a PC that hits the sweet spot for me and being able to rely on getting new ones that have roughly the same characteristics. I got MacBook in maybe 2006, and now eight years later I've got a MacBook Air. The Air is a very similar machine (emphasis on long battery life, light weight, and physical durability, same 13.3" screen size, island keyboard), just better in every way (lighter, longer battery life, etc). With a PC, I have no such predictability. Say I build my workflow around the Vaio Fit 13 with its flip screen and N-Trig pen. Two years from now, am I going to find a similar model to replace it with? Or will I have to get a Lenovo with a different sort of keyboard and different hinge mechanism, etc?
