Nah, I read your post, you shouldn't assume otherwise, we're not children here with next to no attention span. Even dropping the fanboy bomb while adding a smiley after it, classic.
but the reality is that they will sell these as fast as they can make them, will never have to discount them, and will continue to make all the profit in the laptop space. The experience of self-proclaimed power users doesn't scale, and their preferences are not widely shared.
Well your post makes absolutely no sense in the context of what I wrote. How do explain dismissing a test which actually saves lives in critical life situations and would have prevented lots of hardship and economic loss to how many Apple users? Millions perhaps have had broken screens on various devices over the years?None you have a response to Thinkpads withstanding combat and space or how devices survive the thermal challenges of the Arabian desert without being made of magic aluminum. You can like Apple's approach but don't bullshit me saying Apple leads the way in laptop development. BS!!
When Tim Cook said he'd been waiting since he was 5 to be able to make phone calls with his watch, and they panned across the audience to show people agreeing and laughing, I stopped watching.
I don't think Apple's marketing their macbooks towards combat environments. Hell, I doubt most of the programs used on the battlefields and around military bases even run on OSX. For college students and people who use a laptop for transportable use for meetings and/or work away from their main rigs (like me), the worst the laptop has to face is a potential drop from desk height.
