Arguing over semantics now, are you? This is a desktop workstation computer. Satisfied?
And if I may ask what makes people feel special about owning this kind of computer? It starts at $2999 and I could just build $8000 PC system. But then what? That makes me god?
In real world, engineering and science fields rarely rely on a Mac. They do Linux and often their daily software run exclusively on Windows workstation, many dated back to XP.
That's a massively broad statement. My university ( that I lecture at now and again is almost all mac and Linux. Windows got the boot with vista )
Scientific software often runs on Linux as it's free and open source. And can be integrated into stand alone systems with no licensing issues, well certainly less.
And nothing makes us feel special? It's a tool to use to create things and make money. Apple does that very well. My 2008 has been used non stop since I bought it and never gone wrong or actually crashed completely. Software has hung - mostly old Adobe stuff, but even that is much better now. Something I cannot say of ANY PC I own or have owned. So I guess that makes me feel special.
Actually you know what gives me that warm fuzzy feeling?
It's that I can spend 8K on a mac and I know I have 3 years of instant swap out if needed. Try that with a Dell or HP... 3-4 week turn around is all I've ever received from them.
