Wallets are shrinking, so it makes sense that people would spend their money on something that’s more likely to hold value, or last past 5 years of daily use. I got my M1 MacBook Pro for the same reasons.

Also PC companies are getting greedy as fuck and charging Apple prices while not delivering an Apple experience.

Sent from my iPhone, which I bought because Samsung decided to double their prices between the S9 and the S23, all the while expecting me to put up with the train wreck that is the Android app ecosystem.

Not to mention, battery life is INCREDIBLY good on Apple silicon. That, and it generally runs far cooler and quieter than earlier x86 MBPs.

Yeah, I was opposed to buying a Mac for ages because I could never justify $1000 on a Laptop, so I bought $600-800 laptops ever 3-4 years. But I’m at 3 years with my m1 MacBook Air and it works as well as the day I bought it, and still has 98% battery health. I don’t see myself buying another laptop for a looooooong time

Microsoft’s Windows 11 malware/spyware likely has something to do with it too.
