    This isn't intended for the average user or computer enthusiast. There are people who need this for their professional work and are more interested in using their computer than tinkering with them.

      I mean, there are probably a few people who either need to travel and can't use a desktop with twice the power, or who are locked into Apple, but honestly I can't imagine choosing this over a Windows box of equal cost even for design work.

        My guess is they buy it with the company's budget and not their own money so it doesn't matter as much. Overall, Apple is still really overpriced for what you get.

          In my industry Apple is everywhere. I use them at work, we even have that 5k dollar iMac pro but after 10 years of using apple personally I recently switched back to windows. Only thing I really miss is air drop but I will say the software is a good bit more stable on Mac os. Not so much that I'd pay Apple prices but I Def run into more issues on my new computer than my old MacBook

            Windows had their own version of airdrop. They never advertised it, and used the fact that nobody used it as an excuse to get rid of it.

              It probably wouldn’t help bc Apple is always on that walled garden shit. Most of my clients have iPhones and it’s slightly easier to just airdrop their files from their phone to our macs than have to deal with email but I manage lol.
