It seems like you are now trying to walk back your own statement, and I find that facetious. There is no other way to read your original comment: you were saying that someone might choose a Mac over a PC because they prioritize screen brightness, more than 64GB of memory, or SSD over 2TB.

I responded to that with ample evidence that PCs deliver all of that and more.

Your response is to dismiss and insult my comment as being lengthy musings of a crazy person. You’re not reading “all that” just like Fox News isn’t going to put a socialist on the air without talking over them.

Dismissal is the stage you get to when logic and reasoning can’t sufficiently defend your point.

This is what Mac zealots do: they put blindfolds on and pretend like Mac hardware is above and beyond the laws of physics and PC laptops can’t possibly satisfy the same priorities that Macs do. Customer-hostile design is just a manifestation of consumer priority.

And this is what people with some kind of irrational obsession with hating Apple do: they work themselves up into some kind of fever pitch because other people have different priorities and choose a different computer.

Enjoy your HP. Or your Lenovo. It's a bit hard to keep up with which one it is you want.


I know, it’s hard to keep up with having choice. Much easier to just pick the brand with the best marketing, stick with it forever, and assume that nobody else could possibly make anything as good.

My portfolio appreciates you.
