What amazes me is that people who pride themselves on being smart when faced with Apple always resort to the laziest and most stupid of explanations for Apple's popularity: "marketing".

While marketing does play a bog role, it is still rooted in the reality: Apple makes good products (that are often leagues better than the competition in several areas), and as a whole the experience of using Apple products is better for a significant number of people.

What amazes me is that Mac fanatics never have any factual argument as to why it would be better than Windows.

All I hear are attributes that are supposed to be better (spoiler, they're not), but always without a single concrete example.

First, stop calling people fanatics. And then, and only then, you will hear all the factual arguments.
