[QUOTE="newscribe, post: 1397615, member: 175819"] Not sure about Apple's target market in general but I work within the entertainment industry re lighting and sound, and within the UK industry there are now very few sound or lighting engineers / designers who still use PC`s I would say 99.9% use Macs. (we even do pre show lighting checks with an iPod.) And personally as a switcher in 2010 for both personal and work usage,( I had been a PC user all my life.) Lost count of the new machines I had to buy plus hardware upgrades over the years, in order to keep working. 2010 was the turning point when I decided no more after a 6 month old £700 laptop started to develop problems, so moved to Apple. Now I get through the days workload on the Mac effortlessly,[B] no headaches, no wanting to throw it out of the window[/B], it is a joy to use. And in my humble opinion thanks to SJ and Apple`s pricing this is not an expensive compromise at all. As I said I paid £700 for my last laptop + more for software I needed, my MB was £999 with most of the software already loaded, and I have found what I need in the app store at a greatly cheaper cost than its MS counterpart. So for me cost never came into the equation, in fact if I do the maths it was cheaper buying the MB than another laptop. Reasons Build quality. Apples Backup service. User friendliness. Productivity. The list is endless. [/QUOTE]
