Right now I can think of only three reasons to buy an Apple computer.
- It’s what you use already – so there’s some investment in skill, ecosystem, software and so on. While this might seem little more than inertia or laziness, the change required in moving to a different platform really is significant.
- It’s doesn’t run Windows 10. Wow, this is really sad, and yet it’s one of the reasons I’ve considered using the old iMac I inherited. The problem for me is that OSX is also pretty terrible, and there are a whole load of issues I’d have to overcome for this to be even the merest possibility.
- Design. There’s no hope here.
One of the really big reasons *not* to buy Apple is value. Honestly, for the price you’re not getting an awful lot. PC systems at both laptop and desktop level offer considerably better value for money if performance is a criterion. The one big thing Apple hardware’s had for me is a decent screen, and it seems that even these aren’t as good as they had been.
