Re: "Cupertino idiot tax"
It's a bad look to be throwing insults about people and how they work when you know nothing about them.
For the past 8 years, i've been using the same Dell XPS laptop. I've only replaced it this year and am pretty sure i'll have the same piece of kit for a looooong time. I'll bet I paid less for it than you paid for your Macbook Pro.
"Slowdowns, bloat, CRAZY updates, inconsistent corporate imaging" - This has nothing to do with the kit but all down to shoddy IT practices. Maybe talk to a professional?
" and showing no signs of slowing down (I put an SSD in 2 years ago)" - So you had to upgrade and reimage your laptop in order to get rid of the slowdown, bloat and updates? Huh.
"Buying it was a purely functional decision - and it's been a fantastic ROI." - My Dell beat you on this too.
Bitter, bitter fan boys.......
