Your issues are valid and as a never-mac user for 10 years Ive been baffled watching tech friends buy and use Apple products.

Google says your ipad is 1.5 lbs, my thinkpad X1 nano 13" is exactly 2 lbs and does everything iPad does, WITH A KEYBOARD! 1 tb, 16 gb ram, even a sim card slot. Oh, and actual PORTS, for a COMPUTER, imagine?

It honestly looks like brainwashing, I've interrogated smart friends about why they use apple and I can NEVER get a straight answer. I think it is because they don't want to say the truth, they use Apple so other people know they can afford Apple. Thats it. The products such, the marketing is hype and they have no direction as a company.

Also, the Apple VR headset is idiotic and sure to be a flop.
