1. Macbook users who have/are using non-Apple laptops that find the average work-issued Intel laptops to be just meh or worse.
2. People that only buy some exclusive Lenovo, Framework laptops (that are not that common out in the real world (e.g: in US)) refuse to acknowledge the positive experience of Macbook owners.
I have had only 3 personal MacbookAir/MBPs since 2006 (and the previous i5 Mba is perfectly functional after a battery replacement and a HDD upgrade - sitting next to me running Mint Linux, that I plan to hand off to my 10yo.)
In the meantime, I've also had 4 other MBPs and 3 windows laptops through work.
In no way and form, the intel laptops were/are better than the macbooks on average.
