fuck off

Wealth does not corrolate with intelligence

it does co relate with quality of life though.

Because when you are rich money is no big deal. They look nice and are fashion statements more than anything else.

>use macbooks
because it's an expensive fashion accessory.

Same reason you won't find most people using a thinkpad - they have no particular appeal beyond specific, relatively niche markets.

Why is it that you always see leaders of the tech industry using macbooks and never thinkpads?

Thinkpads are pretty nice computers, but they're not really PRETTY computers. Nobody in their right mind would say that 12 inch macbook with the fuckin core m in it is a good purchase when looking strictly at price to performance. Go on Apple's website and spec out a 15-inch macbook pro as much as possible, then go to Lenovo and spec out the P51 the same way. The P51 is way cheaper, and more durable than the Mac. Unfortunately, the P51 is not a slim, thin and light laptop, and is really heavy and bulky.

It's because they're light and look good, not because they're good

why do rich people pay $400 for a white t-shirt

why do rich people buy a rolex and not a timex?

The wealthiest person on the planet uses a Thinkpad.

Go play angrybirds on your fruity baby toys.

Being able to spend $2000 on a computer every 3 years is not considered "rich" by any stretch of imagination.

Went to Canary Wharf once, all of the bankers had Thinkpads

That's not the Rothschilds baka

But he is technologically sophisticated and not representative of most rich people.

Why should Sup Forums of all places care what tech illiterates use?

Because Sup Forums needs to feel better at knowing technology that everyone else.
Since the normal public is too brain ded to understand the difference between a $1000 fashion-macbook and a $650 medium-spec. laptop (ex: Lenovo back then).
It's a shitstorm in here

Same reason why rich people used to buy Vertu phones, even though the phone internals were nothing special.

When you have hundreds of millions, you don't really think about spending a few thousand

hahah... Great definition of a hexadecimal number.
