Or they could be someone like me who works 45 hours a week in the tech industry and owns an Apple laptop because my workflow is faster and better under OS X. I make money with my computer hardware and Apple's hardware has proven to be the most reliable, easiest to work with (I've gone so far as to completely dismantle my MBP so it's not like the hardware is untouchable), and most stable environment I can find for the price. And their specs aren't as bad as some of you want to make them out to be.
In short, I can build a computer in my sleep and dismantle Windows boxes on nearly a daily basis for work, yet I run Macs (and so do ALMOST EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY COLLEAGUES) at home. Yeah, I'm the "sheep" here.
Some of the people in this thread need to wake up, stop looking at the logo on the box, and start examining what's really inside the thing and why people use it. You're just coming off as asses. I'm not saying that everyone should buy a Mac but I'm friends with engineers at Cisco, HP, and Google and EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM OWNS A MACBOOK.
Yeah, they must all be uninformed, despite them knowing more about computers and trending technology than 99.9999% of this forum.
