Sorry for more tech babble, but I just want to say one more enormous and long winded thing:
I love think the biggest thing for me is he fact that the same company is building the software AND the hardware that I love most. With Windows and Google, it's always a matter of picking the "right" notebook or tablet or phone or desktop that ALSO runs the "right" version of your preferred OS. Like the aforementioned HP — a Fucking awful company that builds momentarily flashy devices that inevitably go to gadget hell after no time at all — or the Chromebooks that Samsung builds, or the Android OS-running phones that run their version of Android because, y'know, they can, and pure android doesn't make them any money.
With Apple, I don't have to worry about it. They make my preferred desktop, tablet, laptop, smartphone, etc. and they ALSO make my preferred operating system. Then they put the two together. Easy. I don't have to "shop" for a new tablet or laptop if/when I need one. I know exactly what the fuck I want, and why.
It's universal functionality from a brand I trust. Yeah, the products are on the pricey side, but there's never any doubt about whether I'm making the right decision. Need a laptop? MacBook Pro. Tablet? iPad. Phone? iPhone. Wireless keyboard? The kickass Bluetooth board that Apple makes. USB keyboard? The badass full key and number pad board Apple makes. Stylus? Apple Pencil. Smart watch? Apple Watch. Not that I have an Apple Watch or have any desire to own one, but if I did...
It's all built like a dream, looks badass, and means having to deal with only one company, one retailer, one tech support center and so on. I love Apple. Apple
Makes my life SO MUCH EASIER.
