Congratulations, you've identified the target market for the new MacBook.
- cookiecaper 12y agoI'm not so sure. I find most such persons will put some money into a phone or tablet, but if they have a laptop, they usually buy a cheap one from Wal-Mart for under $300. As far as I can tell, the market for Apple's laptops are normal hipsters, hipster devs that can't stop talking about how you can build a blog in only two hours with Ruby on Rails, video and photo editors clinging to the meme from the 80s that editing software is somehow superior on a Mac, and college students that don't want the embarrassment of using an "old person's computer".
