Yep, there's not denying Apple stuff is well built, well designed etc.

It's just a matter of what a person cares about. For me, it's all performance and price. I don't care about looks, build quality etc. all that much.

I'm fine with my ugly, black, plastic Lenova Thinkpad T400. It's fast, doesn't crash or freeze etc.

As long as my PCs are quick and reliable, that's all I need. Others care more about build quality, appearance etc. and are willing to pay for it and that's fine.

I never bash Apple. They make quality products, and make a lot of money selling them. They just haven't made anything that fit my needs at a value I felt was worth it yet. The iPad is the closest they've came yet.
