Is Mac better with Steam and games now? Or is this just all the college students buying macs to type papers on in Starbucks?
Edit: pardon me, I didn't realize I stepped into an Apple orgy! I'll see my way out, y'all have fun!
Would you blame them for wanting a good machine? I know Chromebooks are fine for papers and browsing but like budget windows computers, they’re built like shit.

There’s a fuckton of in-between there lmao, people don’t just buy computers for gaming or typing papers.
Neither.
There's a reason Apple reports "Shipments" instead of "Sales".
In order to get the "honour" of selling apple crap, a retailer has to commit to a certain dollar value of inventory-on-hand.
If those units collect dust in that retailers back-room, Apple doesn't give a shit. And it's notoriously difficult to RMA unsold product to them.
