Question: Why does it seem like a majority of recording artists, graphic designers, etc. use Apple products?
I'm not being a dick, I'm asking why. If they sucked, you'd think everyone would be using PCs.
Apple's world-wide market share is below 5%...
Apple's USA market share is around 10%...
Pretty much EVERYONE is using PCs.
I think there are four reasons people like/use Apple computers.
1) It's the same reason people visit Starbucks, have thick-framed glasses or wear skinny jeans -- they like fitting in.
2) Companies perpetuate the myth that Apple products are better for graphic design, music and video editing. Because of this, they buy the products and the hapless souls that use them do it out of necessity. Personal use at home by these types is because of familiarity.
3) Stupid people believe that Apple computers are better, more reliable systems. "Apple computers never get viruses!" Neither do I, dipshits.
4) They're Apple fanboys. They want people to know they paid way more than necessary to get sub-par performance out of a laptop or desktop, and they'll do everything to tell you like plastering the backside of their car with Apple logo stickers, camping out for weeks for the latest re-skin of their over-priced hardware, or by crying in the street when Steve Jobs blue screened himself.
