  Their entire business model has been to focus on systems that lock people in and exclude people who are out. None of this is done for security or as a means for the best possible customer experience. It’s done for the sole purpose of forcing income they couldn’t achieve with innovation alone. I’ve heard so many tech reviewers and even my own personal friends who say they would love to switch if only to try something else. They say they’d switch today if their friends, family and coworkers wouldn’t get mad at them. Apples only real innovation over the past ten years has been built in social pressure.

    This is why the only Apple product I’ve owned was a free iPad. It feels claustrophobic to be trapped in their ecosystem.

      I only used It extensively in a university, and that’s about it, and occasionally for work, and I’m not in tech. Tech people do find the laptop convenient though
