They're like Sony: they sell proprietary electronics at a premium. Nothing wrong with that.

okay....you have to give credit where it's due.  Sony has made HUGE strides towards international standards.  Apple intentionally locks you in to this day.

The new MacBook uses a USB-C connector for everything, including charging. Now if they'll just put one on the iPhone as well...

Regardless..  but wouldn't you be slightly mad if someone had a "faster" macbook than you did.. and you paid the same amount?

You'd be looking at the passmark tables and be like, wha.... we got the same specifications, how come his benches 200 points higher..
