MacBookPro or What?

UT,

I know it's universally reviled because of the user interface.

Doesn't change that it's the first OS Microsoft put out with working wireless. Unfortunately, the newer OEM HW uses it, and there's no way to go back without crippling the hardware on laptops or tablets. Microsoft has tied the power management to the hardware too much.

Apple is a price premium brand, and people know it.

The people that I deal with use them for work or school. They depend on them heavily. To them it is a smaller opportunity cost than the cost of lost work or classwork. Microsoft has done great advertising for Apple on many fronts.

You or I can deal with a Chromebook, but your average user cannot.
