I have a work laptop (chunky ass dell from 2010 '1366x768') and a gaming rig at home (built early 2012 '1920x1080'). Both are on windows 7.
There are a few things:
* I've had iPhones since they came out, love them, but nothing has compelled me to go to the Mac. (also have retina ipad mini)
* I don't want to upgrade one of my main machines to retina if my other machines don't have it. It's bad enough switching back from the phone/tablet.
* I've also just recently gotten into photography and video editing.
I've been waiting for a laptop to be 'good enough'. The retina macbook pros are excellent machines, but if I upgraded I really wanted it to be to an air-like device. My main tasks for the laptop are using the web, using skype and using email. (& I might add, carrying it ALL THE TIME)
As my main 'need' for my desktop has essentially transitioned from gaming into photography / video.. the 5K iMac is just.. i mean.. have you seen the screen in person? Goddam its nice. The games I would play will run on it at 1440 with no problem whatsoever. I have seen the scaling issues on windows at 4K and am just not interested in dealing with that crap these days.
OSX Pre-Yosemite just never appealed to me. (although I had used macs previously at various jobs) It feels like the OS and the Hardware have each now hit their point where the effort of switching is going to pay off much sooner than any time prior.
I have a feeling the mac market is going to continue growing, as there will be more and more people in a similar position (main PCs need an upgrade, etc) that will finally be saying 'time for a mac'
