I've used a MacBook before, yes. And, so, don't get me wrong, I've hated every moment of using one. I don't like the OS. I don't like the aesthetic. There is absolutely nothing about the MacBook I like.

But I am very able to recognize that I am not everyone, that there are a lot of people who like their MacBooks, that Apple's build quality is the best there is, that Apple's support is top-notch, that you can FIND Apple support in any major city in the US. That they are built to last. A Taiwanese MacBook visual knockoff running Linux isn't a MacBook killer. If you want one? Good for you. But the majority of the market for a MacBook, in fact, is not buying them because of the color. Making your laptop the same color as Apple's doesn't make your laptop a competitor.
