You implied it.
No, you impute it.
I more prefer classic PC for its price than corresponding Apple hardware
that is twice more expensive. And I'm not alone, I personally know
nobody who uses a MacBook - even if "mac" is _cool_, slim number of
people buy it.
Gee, you should get out more. I know at least four here locally, and I
spend most of my time isolated on a farm. One is a cousin, another a
neighbor, and the other two are longtime fiends.
One used to be a PC guy, then Linux, and now is an Apple fan. He still
likes Linux OK, but likes Apple better these days. (Shrug.) His
choice. He keeps trying to get me to buy a Mac. When I plead expense,
he points out that there are used/refurbished ones available, and that
there's a LOT of low-cost/free Apple software around.
Aside from the above former Linux user and my brother, who uses what I
set up for him, I don't know any other local Linux users personally.
And quite frankly, I don't have a clue as to what most of the people I
know use, or even if many use a computer at all.

I see, well in my country mainly some artists (like graphic designers or
movie makers) use Macs - I met 3 persons (but I'm not a friend of them)
who had these computers, one was a designer of web sites, the second a
graphic designer and the third.. an eccentric.
http://ranking.pl/pl/rankings/operating-systems.html shows that around
0,8% computers with internet access in my country run under MacOS.. and
this is nothing (I can simply point maybe 100 PCs with MS Windows
without internet access.. and I don't think that if someone has some
money to spend, and buys Mac hasn't access to internet). Also I don't
know the current situation very well nowadays on the market, but some
years ago there was totally no software for Macs.. and this eccentric
proffessor had to run everything under a virtual machine with Windows...
Well but this is a general off-topic here, my thesis is simple: usually
people who don't have what to do with their wallets choose Macs.
Probably in other countries Macs are relative cheaper and the situation
is much different.
