Do Mac users conform?
And some Apple customers apparently do not conform to rational thought. Apple uses the same hardware standard on all PCs: same Intel chips sets, same video cards. Maybe only the build quality and design are different. Maybe better, maybe not. But I'm sure Apple appreciates the cult-like adherence to its marketing strategy that they are "different."
