80% of computer buyers will be happy with a good enuff computer. Apple cannot survive by getting a proportion of the remaining 20%. So they poach and steal from the 80% who can by perfectly well with lets say a $500 Dell laptop my friends girl friend just bought. She could have saved $100 at Dell refurbished but she wasn't listening to me. Why on earth would she buy an Apple 13.3" laptop at twice the price when she has told me she only uses it for the internet? That woman is who Apple is targeting and is a prime buying demographic for Apple
That's the kicker. Apple simply doesn't sell in the "good enough" market.
You couldn't be more wrong. Their entire strategy is to target the "good enuff" people and brainwash them into buying far more computer than than they need and to pay Apple hundreds more for this privilege
The Freepers here who buy Apple products are mostly demanding customers (power users) who need a superior computer, not just a good enuff computer. So they are honest and legit Apple customers

As a retiree I don't need a superior computer - I just can't be bothered with being paranoid about my computer when I have an alternative. I'm relaxed using a Mac; I bought an XP machine for a relative (needed an app), and now he wants me to fix it and I'm disgusted. I don't care about identifying the latest hack and getting the antidote to it on my machine. I don't hafta, so I don't. Thank God, I don't have to be that tight with my money at this point. Obama may manage to change that, of course . . .
