Apple’s 2016 MacBook Pro (and the Winter of Our Discontent)

> Another thing, remember those frayed Apple power cables we “enjoyed” in the past… no problem now, just replace the USB Type C cable, there’s no need to buy a whole new PSU.

Had Apple not chosen to hard-wire the PSU end of that power cable and instead made it pluggable into the PSU, you also would not have needed a whole new PSU due to a frayed cable.

Companies go to Apple and spend the mac tax because of the superior support. There are generally mac stores in areas where there are a lot of tech companies clustered so if you have a problem generally you can walk to an Apple store to talk to a human. They get away with selling inferior configurations because macosx is still less resource hungry than windows10. That being said its smarter to standardize on chromeos for a startup because its cheap and easy to setup a team on cloud9 and all share the same instances, and save tons in hardware costs per employee.
