@cigazze that's their benefit.
@cigazze I'm on a 7 year old XPS right now *shrug* I think I paid $600 for it?
they're luxury because everyone can see you have a mac. Same as a rolex. Or a designer bag.
@Fuego I get what you mean by them being a luxury, but most people don't buy them for the same reason as buying a Rolex or other 'status symbols' - they buy them because their OS and build quality are worth the price to them. Or their tied to it software-wise. I sure do wish Panic's software was on Windows, lol
@Fuego Dells definitely don't last just as long, though - my i7559 is crumbling after a year and a half of use, lol. Metal chassis definitely help :P but yeah, it's subjective. They're only a luxury item because they have a monopoly on their OS.
