People here are always telling me that modern MacBooks are nothing special and I can get a better deal on a Windows laptop. Which is it? Seems like it can’t be a monopoly _and_ face stiff competition from Windows.
(I’m not interested in the green-bubble stuff; that argument holds no weight with me - especially since iOS supports RCS now)
I don't know what "geen bubble stuff" means, but it's totally plausible that there's a monopoly on mobile devices and/or the app store, but not on PCs overall.
The anti-trust issues are related to the iOS marketspace. MacBooks has nothing to do with this. Please stop injecting your conjecture to move the goalposts of the discussion.
