> “Isn’t the essence of the Apple product that you achieve coolness simply by virtue of owning it? It doesn’t even matter what you’re creating on your Mac Air. Simply using a Mac Air, experiencing the elegant design of its hardware and software, is a pleasure in itself, like walking down a street in Paris. Whereas, when you’re working on some clunky, utilitarian PC, the only thing to enjoy is the quality of your work itself.”
Whoever writes this lacks knowledge of the world, and yet decides to express an opinion on it. The fact that it’s a celebrated author like Franzen, makes it even worse.
A “Mac Air” is a wondrous machine. It’s so good that it makes you FORGET about the machine so much better than a clunky PC. So, if anything, the opposite of what Franzen write is actually true.
