I hate how Apple users feel the need to call their computer by the brand. It really makes me cringe.
It is called "a computer"
Maybe "PC"
"box" if you really have to flex that UNIX
They should treat their computers less like jewelry and more like donkey vans
I mean, isnt that the entire point of Apple? Brand recognition and percieved status attributed to said brand. Its like rappers and gucci belts or country artists and ford pickups
In slight fairness to them the Mac mini isn't actually pretty decent PC, unlike their laptops which are absolutely not worth the money. Although maybe these days $400 for 16 gigabytes of RAM is actually market value.
