[QUOTE="rsaeon, post: 2495180, member: 76792"] Well then you could've just said so! The "copium" I'm sprouting was supposed to be for someone who wanted to better understand Apple's product strategies. I've owned two desktops and seven laptops and several hackintoshes over the years and it took me a while to make sense of Apple's decisions. Nothing I said would even register as remotely convincing to someone who hasn't spent their own money, whether out of need or out of curiosity, on an Apple computer. I grew up with windows and DOS and experimented with OS X with the first intel release in 2006, having converted my gaming desktop into a hackintosh after removing the graphics card and sound card. I just love the system wide automations and scripting, I use it every day. I like one-click workflows. It's the love of Apple software that's kept me on Apple hardware all these years, partway being frustrated and partway trying to understand. But to quickly answer a few of your points, succinctly: Encryption by third parties. Windows, PC, overall is not a closed system where one entity controls both the hardware and software. Sure, it's industry proven and accepted, but it's not nearly the same. Look at how many backdoor and encryption keys have been leaked over the years because of too many chefs in the kitchen — remember 09 F9? [URL unfurl="true"]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AACS_encryption_key_controversy[/URL] What's to say there isn't a backdoor somewhere? It's the same risk with Apple, they could have a backdoor as well, but with Apple, it's one company to trust vs many. There's no more to the story than what I said. I suppose you've never travelled with a laptop in a backpack before? What does it matter to you if you're not buying it? Do we see people complaining about expensive watches when a casio tells you the same exact time? Price points exist, some within reach and some far out of reach. 80K on an SSD upgrade didn't make sense for me so I moved on and spent that 80K on something that did make sense to me. At this point you're being disingenuous on purpose. Again, there's enough information in my posts for you independently verify what I've said but as you're not an apple user, you're not inclined to do so. That's fine, I wouldn't have made the effort if I had known you didn't personally own any Apple computers. I sometimes have an impostor syndrome and I think that I'm not using the hardware I have to the fullest potential. I thought the 2% wear of my SSD was wrong since i expected more deterioration. But with your numbers of 6% with an 8GB machine over three years, it makes me believe that 2% of wear over two years with a 16GB machine is a significant enough number to be a correct value. And yes, both yours and mine will outlast either of us, probably — which is excellent to know. [/QUOTE]
