Compare that with the people who I know with macs... with those people its a case of the mac doesn't go anywhere with them unless they already have a very specific use in mind for why they're going to need it with them. Its part of the babying thing, they seem to not want to put undue travelling stress on their prized pristine white glossy fashion statement, lest it look like its been used extensively. I've seen macs that look like they did new years after they were bought, and its not the build quality that does that, its a lack of hard use. Those macs I've seen that I know do get a lot of use, have been just as worn looking as any laptop, and have broken about as often too. Or more often.
