>In no way am I trying to incite Mac vs. PC, but after years of Apple laptops I grew bored with their aluminum fascism

So, they like killed millions of people, or invaded other countries to make them use aluminum laptops?

Nope, not even metaphorically.

In fact, even the other thing that's directed at them ("it's just because of marketing") is not true either.

While they had good ads, their marketing spending was historically miniscule (especially compared to companies such as Samsung and Microsoft) and of course they began from near zero budget (actually near banruptcy) circa 1997 and grew with products that made people want to buy them and the press write about them, not ads.
