Not sure why you are getting downvoted, you are right. A mac is a status symbol. If you wanted a good system, you could get far more than a mac can give with the same price.
Macs are more expensive than most equivalently-specced PCs. There are reasonable trade offs - things like good support, MacOS support, and build quality - and it’s totally understandable that some people think that’s worth the money.
How about more time trying to understand that people have different requirements from you, and less time being a cliché?
Hasn't macbooks been plagued with keyboard issues?
> good support
Limited support from 3rd parties is good?
Please show me a laptop with the same quality trackpad and an operating system that works as well with my iOS devices e.g. AirDrop, Continuity, iCloud Notes, Photos, Keychain. And of course one that has perfect driver support and supports apps like Pixelmator and Omnigraffle.
I've used MBPs daily for the last few years and occasionally have issues when hotplugging external (Apple) displays. Nothing has perfect driver support.
You really think everyone in the world could care less about a hardware Escape key like you would think if you just read HN.
I've tried it and it's very difficult to get everything to work in particular iCloud and Messages.
To be clear, I prefer macOS, just talking about build quality here.
