You can't just change the goal posts to cause your argument to have more weight. This entire post has nothing to do with where you work or work at all: it's to do with a consumer laptop being released and you know right well we're talking about buying this for personal use.
The GP of the OP I responded to was talking about his profession and every post I have made in this thread was about professional users and their ability to do their jobs. How you can walk away from this conversation thinking that I was talking about personal use is beyond me.
I'm not sure why you're under the impression that individuals get to choose what computers their employers issue them.
Not all of us get to choose the computers we use to do our jobs. I've had several company issued Macbooks, and have worked in Mac-only offices.
