Actually a lot of us buy Apple for the hardware performance, just not the kind of performance you measure in GigaWhatevers :) A touchpad that's not horrific, great battery life, a quality screen, and managing to fit it all into a smaller/lighter package than anyone else are all high on my performance list. A few years ago I was looking for basically an ubuntu macbook air. Hardly anything even came close to an air & what did was generally still inferior and just as expensive.
