    Spend the majority of your revenue on ads that trick non-IT people into thinking they need to pay 3-4 more than something is worth because it can only be done on an Apple?

      I used to believe it was overpriced crap too, no better than a PC laptop, until I bought one and used it and realized the quality was something I had never previously enjoyed.

      Name one PC vendor that consistently puts a high quality retina display in all of their devices from a phone, to tablet to, small/large laptops and even AIOs? And has been doing so for 10+ years now. Apple figured out a 5K iMac display way back in the early 2010s back when you would be pressed to find a PC that could run more than 1080p... let alone find a decent 4k monitor to even attempt it.

      Then, name one non-apple Trackpad that doesn't suck... just name one that even works. There are none. Logitech has a 100$ trackpad that's crap and then beyond that it's a bunch of 30$ scams on Amazon.

      Yes Apple's upgrades are expensive, but their products rock and are well worth the money. I'd rather have a fixed set of specs than a big, shitty bulky laptop with a crappy keyboard, trackpad, display, etc.

      If it were simply an overpriced machine, that wouldn't work in the long run. Consumers might be duped once or twice but wouldn't repeatedly go back to the same, overpriced store every single time.

      1. My sons are using 2012 MacBook Pros. One I paid $450 for from a friend who decided he didn't want it. The other I got from a relative who had upgraded to a new laptop. I just had to reinstall the operating system. I have had Mac Laptops die. But they have been worth every penny I paid. Watching other people with their PC Laptops and how much effort I get to put into helping them....

        Macs are cheaper. NONE of them are 3x or 4x what the equivalent PC is.
