Hello everyone!
Haven't checked in for a while and hope everyone is doing well
Just recently picked up a MacBook and am really enjoying it! Of course I watched the YouTube videos and reviews and had to pretty much decide for myself by trying it out. I realize the port situation, keyboard and processors are all being attacked by many, but I have to say that for what I purchased it for (mobility, light photoshop and relatively lighter weight projects) it is superb!
I have a 2013 15" MBP which I use for photo editing and will continue using it for the heavier duty Photoshop edits, but I have to say that the MacBook has been in my hands a lot more than even I expected. The ease of mobility, excellent keyboard, amazing speakers and display make it a must have for me which gets me to my intentions with this thread.....All of the Apple hate out there!
I have made comments online via YouTube and different forums that were basically passive in nature, just stating that I have been a Mac user for decades and how much I like Apple products. It is unreal how much hatred, obscenities, and venom is spewed in my direction. 99% of the time I try to be polite, refrain from any foul language, respectful and fair, but it is pretty much impossible with a lot of the haters out there!
My question to you folks is.......What is the Apple hatred rooted in? Is it envy, perception, stereo typing, an honest belief that Apple is some kind of evil company or something else? I mean, I don't mind a good debate or even a spirited argument, but the blatant verbal attacks you get sometime just because you use Apple products or God forbid by praising Apple is surprising.
Thanks for your time and best to everyone! I'll be anxious to read what you think
take care,
Rick
