While they're more expensive to buy new than many Windows laptops, the general sentiment from those I've spoken to seems to be:

* It's worth the extra money for more reliable operation and fewer worries about malware.

* Buying used is much less of a lottery. They tend not to have hidden problems.

* Selling used means you actually get some return to put towards your next device.

I see people using Office and Chrome or Safari - and not much else.
