This is because of the cold. Apple Laptops dominate because they are (were at the time, anyway), the only screens that would survive those temperatures.

Reference: I designed and led the build of the system used by the Barrow Arctic Science Consortium for managing equipment and rentals for scientists in the arctic back in the 2Ks.

One of the things I loved about Reddit was the super niche experts dropping into the comment section. I'm so glad Lemmy has this too.

Wouldn’t you want something purpose built for it? Like a Panasonic Toughbook or an Intel 10850k?

You'd think, but the macs held up great, and were easier to replace as they were often rented so needed to be sourced regularly.
