This Apple move is the next wave.... going after the millions of people that no longer have desktops. Having chosen instead to buy a 500-1500 laptop and use nothing else.
I'm less opposed to using Macs than I used to be, but bear in mind you can get a pretty good Windows laptop for like $700 or maybe a bit less on sale, and have been able to for a while now. And, as I said, I have applications I use, both at home and at work, that won't run on Macs, so one would be a secondary machine for me, which means it probably wouldn't get used much.
