> It's funny to read about folks on HN where the audience is likely in the top eschelons of earning percentiles complain about a bespoke vertically integrated solution like the Apple computers.

Just because you can afford an absurd $4000-8000 Apple computer doesn't mean you want to waste your money on it. I have a finite amount of money and choose to spend it on other things.

Apple is fine for like, a $1500 laptop. The macbook air is a fine product.

Not for an actual workstation.
