You can also include energy usage which costs money and support. Apple's
support is second to none, and their customer satisfaction ratings are
generally the envy of the industry, as are their low DOA numbers and the
like.

But that does not mean I think a Mac is for everyone. If you are a gamer a
Mac is likely a poor choice for you. Lots of other niches where the Windows
software is better. And you can get one for less... that matters.

use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow
superior by attacking the messenger.

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.
