I'm sorry, but if you have to resort to labeling reasonably-priced non-Apple products as "what poor people buy", I can't accept your arguments. Not everybody can afford to spend $3k+ on a top-specced MacBook even if they wanted a MacBook. I would much rather take my personal route of buying a nice $1400 Thinkpad and then upgrading the storage to 2 TB later on for $100 over Black Friday. Sure, it's still pricey, but I get great specs for less than half the price of a MacBook.
