Price, Performance, and Quality / Reliability are the classic market value 'three legged stool'. Until Android products achieve Quality / Reliability levels equivalent to the Apple products.. I don't think so.
Why did Apple suddenly absorb huge market share in the laptop computer market ?
Quality / Reliability. Sure, you can get an 'equal performance' Windoze craptop. And buy a new one every 2 years.
Ignoring Quality/Reliability works for the casual consumer who is buying a 'toy'. Not for the serious consumer. And Apple products are for that serious consumer.
I don't agree at all. There are Android devices on the market now which compete quite favorably on quality/reliability. With Apple making more of their laptop line non upgradable, how can you continue to bang the only Windows PCs need to upgrade every two years drum? I doubt 100% of Apple owners are serious users.
