When you're staring at the screen after jerking off to porn, your reflection doesn't look sad and lonely.

Less glare and better viewing angles
Which honestly seems a bit pointless. My 2015 iMac has almost no glare.
You see how your monitor has a soft plastic matte surface so that you can't see your own face in it like a mirror? It works at the expense of massive downgrade to image quality and contrast. This monitor has a glass surface so it's pretty reflective like an iPad is. This fancy coating diffuses the outside light on the surface of the glass without impacting the light coming from the other side and image as much. Samsung Q90 has a similar coating but I don't know if that one is this fragile. People are more likely to touch a monitor than a TV I guess and you are likely to scratch off the coating from the glass surface with any coarse material easily.
I don't think people are bothered by it though, it's more of how ludicrous it seems, just like the lambo that comes with the mechanic.
Why would they be lonely when the FBI is watching them on the front camera of their phone.
Normal soap and warm water..
...no seriously...that's it.
**It does specify to let it dry for 24hrs before re-use.
People be bothered by it. They cannot fathom who would use these tools. Some even saying you can build a cheaper pc to match the performance. Twitter, Reddit, Facebook, even on the thread about the Mac Pro here.
This is some tinfoil hat shit.
The FBI doesn't give a fuck about you unless you give them a reason to.
It's the NSA being all peepy pervy.
(Hi NSA agent)
Apple has ruffled the feathers of geek communities for decades. Everything they design, their branding, marketing, demographical targeting, etc is like diametrically opposed to the typical PC hobbyist and gamer. When you take advanced hardware and package it in a shiny Jony Ive box aimed at affluent creatives and busy professionals, you're going to piss off the people who spend their entire lives online forming an identity centering around nerd machismo. Because the things they were experts at are now being undermined and mass marketed to people who didn't know shit about that tech, who just want something that "just works". It's a gadget culture war.

But that's how people are with "luxury goods" it's silly for most that some things cost so much, when you can get something cheaper that works just as good for them. Why pay a million + for a lambo that you can only drive on special occasions, why pay $52,000 for a computer that's only worth it for one thing really.
It's silly that a specialized piece of equipment costs $52k? I hate to break it to anyone who feels this way but offices, studios, labs, etc are filled with gear that no normal person can afford or easily justify doing tasks no normal person regularly does. It's not like this is some unicorn product no one uses or has ever expressed a need for. You can buy similarly spec'd and priced machines from multiple manufacturers. Clearly there is a market.
And there's a market for million+ hypercars that's why they keep making them. I just trying to explain what the average person who doesn't follow this stuff might think, and people are having a bit of fun at Apple expense it's really not that big a deal.
That's why I have it in quotes, it's a special piece of equipment but it has a luxury price.
But what about the network analyzer that costs $250k and is smaller than this workstation? It has a specialized purpose and hobbyists can't afford it. It's not a "luxury" price, it's expensive because it's sophisticated, produced in relatively small volumes and requires training to use properly.
I just don't understand trying to justify people feeling this way. The reaction is ridiculous.
And i don't get you guys going to bat for a multi-billion megacorp that doesn't care that you and I exist or not. People are having a bit of fun at apple it's not that serious at all.
Its not a defense of Apple, it's questioning poor reasoning. And for not mattering much you sure tried to defend it as reasonable. You've now switched fully to "why so serious" mode.
It seems that way to me but whatever. And I just didn't just switch to " why so serious mode" I was in the mode for the jump. It's really not that serious.
It doesn't have a luxury price either. It's actually like 30-40 grand cheaper than the Dell equivalent (which isn't even really an equivalent to begin with because you can't achieve parity on their site).
Those million dollar robots that build cars are such a luxury item, nobody needs those. What a ridiculous maintenance plan they have. You can build a car yourself in your garage!
