You'd buy a second to avoid taking a 2 minute break?

I wouldn't buy any Apple hardware to begin with. We had to sue them in a class action because of their awful faulty hardware. We're never going back.

Then why do you care? Why waste your time making shit up about Apple when you're not going to buy any of their hardware?

What "shit" did I "make up" about Apple? I haven't made up anything. Apple would be happy if you bought 2 of their mice to work around their design problems. More profit = Apple is happy.

I don't know, still better than all the other hardware vendors with their devices that are bad by specification.

Oh, like the 8GB Macbooks they are pushing? Like that kind of "bad by specification"?

I'd buy that rather than 32 GB anything else.

Typical fanboy reply. You're beyond reason.

I'd buy any other brand if they produced something comparable in all metrics to a Macbook. That means the chassis, the display, sound quality and loudness, excellent trackpad and a very adequate keyboard, no fans or any moving parts at all, low temperature, very long battery life, size, thickness and weight.. I don't care about RAM, I was able to live with 8GB just fine. All the other metrics are much more important to me, more RAM just makes it a little nicer but otherwise doesn't make the experience.

Consider that the "fanboys" simply care about something other than you do. There was a time in my life when I had probably very similar preferences as you, but life changes.

Trust me, you don't have to explain to me all the ways you're a fanboy. You've proven it already. Don't bother replying further.

Fan boys usually care about the brand. ;-)
