Back in 2009, buying a MBP, the salesman questioned why a CS student would want a mac over a pc. Luckily for him I wasn't considering his thoughts. I definitely didn't need that powerful of a computer and glad I switched to an air a few years later.

When I bought my windows XP computer, the salesman said “you really want a candy OS? Windows 98 is where it’s at”

Yeah. How’d that turn out, guy?

“Windows 98: It’s where the blue screens are at.”

Get in on some WinME!

I think part of my comment was broadly about their softly-softly approach to hard selling not actually working at all when someone simply walks in and says "I'd like to buy this right now"
