Quoting: Cunning Plan
In the video, The Street says that on average Mac users surveyed were discovered to be “self centered, arrogant, conceited” and truly "snobs". The site says this has many real commercial ramifications, so all jokes aside, the "snob"-factor warrants serious attention.
So I'm not allowed to openly recognise that Macs are better?
Mac users, apparently concerned with self-image, were found to buy tooth-whitening products at a far greater rate than PC users. Mac users are also more likely to visit Starbucks, buy organic food, and own hybrid cars. Furthermore, Mac users buy on average 5 new pairs of sneakers a year, well above the average for non-users.
Tooth whitening - No
Starbucks - Yes
Organic - No. Although I do care about what's in my food
Hybrid cars - Obviously not although I've nothing against them.
Mac users prefer notebooks to desktops, station wagons to SUVs
Generally prefer a notebook but sometimes you need the power and screen real estate of a Desktop.
Not keen on the driving experience of SUVs, although they are cooler than station wagons imho.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Mac users prefer "green" products, even at a higher cost. Perhaps more surprisingly, Mac users are quite law abiding and are more likely than not to pay for music -- perhaps more due to the popularity of iTunes than their moral inclinations. Mac users are more satisfied with their purchase than PC users.
Not bothered by green products although I do prefer energy saving devices as long as they don't actually cost more in their lifetime.
I pay for my music, yes thanks to iTunes. no, not because it's an Apple product but because it's 79p a song which isn't worth worrying about and is fair to both the record company and me imho.
I am indeed satisfied with my computer purchase. Mac people very rarely whine about their computers yet most PC owners winge about a crash or a blown piece of hardware or a a problem with Windows or whatever. Never met a PC user who loves their PC.
Interestingly, people surveyed with an "open personality" were found to be 60% more likely to buy a Mac. Some of the more esoteric observations on Mac users character are flattering, others aren't. Mac users were found to be more liberal, socially and politically. Mac users are also less modest and more assured of their own superiority.
Open personality - no
Liberal - No
I just fail to see why I should spend my money on sub standard products that cause nothing but headaches. As Macs and PCs cost about the same on a like for like spec basis it's a no brainer for me, hell I'd even pay a little more for a Mac for the easy life.
Although you can run Windows on Macs now I'm still not convinced they're right for most gamers though as the graphics cards are never the high end models.
