I have a MacBook Air. I also have a ThinkPad dual-booting Ubuntu and Windows 8.1. When you see them side-by-side, you'll understand why the mac goes in my travel bag[1]. Others might not mind the difference in weight or size, but I do. Also, even though the ThinkPad X140e is certified by Ubuntu to be compatible[2], it took me 4 months of messing around before I could change the screen brightness. That issue ruined battery life and made my laptop unusable at night. I still can't get bluetooth to work. Others have been luckier than me, but hardware support on Linux can still be spotty. With a mac, I don't have to worry about that. But that's just my experience. Others (such as yourself) love using Linux on their laptops. It's entirely possible that people simply have different preferences or workflows. Instead of feigning shock or getting upset, just use what you like. 1. http://abughrai.be/pics/DSC_8737.JPG http://abughrai.be/pics/DSC_8737.JPG 2. http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201309-14195/ http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201309-14195/
