And in one way you're not far off with the "magical" crap... apart from the serious computer users, most people, I know want to use a computer to do useful things not computer geekery... they care less about the hardware than about being able to do what they want. If they are buying new then they tend to ask someone more knowledgeable (about computers) to help/advise them.

whatever, why don't you actually read in context what I wrote.
Rockdaman was saying Apple stopped using specs to sell iPads a long time ago. And I pointed out that Apple advertises and trumps up specs when they feel they having something to crow about such as "Retina Display", A5 processor, dual core etc. But when their specs are lower than their competition it becomes the usual "People don't care about specs" That's what's Rubbish.
And contrary to what you might think, majority of people DO want to know how much RAM, what processor they are using, what's the connectivity, can I watch a Blu ray ? etc. etc. Even if they don't know what all the terms mean, they do look to the Electronic Salesperson to steer them in the right direction in buying what is the best they can afford. I know grandpa's going into buying TV's and asking about 720P vs 1080P contrast ratio. etc. People DO WANT TO KNOW the specs.
This may come as a bit of a shock to you but not everyone walks in to a store like a mindless drone just looking for an apple lable and not caring what they are getting. Can't speak for the the Apple store patrons though
