Does Mac styling make a difference to you and why?
Yes.
Because I appreciate a graceful blend of style and substance.
I'm seldom if ever in a position where I have to sacrifice function over form. There are sometimes small compromises made but they almost always fall short of actual sacrifice.
Fine design aesthetic and craftsmanship are things I look for, as well as function. Whether form or function gets the nod over the other will vary. I'm willing to pay more for a refined execution, in most cases. Metal, glass, wood… Some medium that someone has crafted into a precision object gets my attention every time.
In this day and age of choice, even in something that I demand the utmost in function and reliability, there's often an alternative with an aesthetic quality that wins me over.
It doesn't bother me a bit if someone wants to pay as little as possible and has no regard for form. It's a choice, not a sin. I'd just wish they'd STFU about how proud they are of that, as though my choice is some direct affront to them.
So I pay "tax" as I see fit.
Yes.
