you're not a customer of any of their products at all already? not a single apple device in your household?

I didn't have a single Apple device in my house until a month ago when I bought a Neo. The last Apple devices I had before that were an iPod Nano and a PowerMac G5 many many years ago.

Apple has pretty good competition in every segment with the exception of maybe the iPad, but I'm not a tablet user.

Some folks like to have a computing environment free of proprietary influences and extremely strong vendor lock-in. I cannot claim to posses any apple devices.

None. And I have a PC, a personal laptop, a work laptop, my current and my previous Android phone.

Correct. Been using Linux and Android for over ten years. My household had no Apple devices until I got married.

No, I've never owned an Apple device in my life, neither has anyone in my family to my knowledge.

What a bizarre bubble you live in to even be asking this question... I've never owned a single apple product, and never will.

And in the rare occasions in which I have to use someone's MacBook, I'm completely lost - like some elderly person.

there a many people who don't own Apple. Why are you so surprised? I certainly don't and never will. What's it got that I can't get on a standard PC + Linux?

Not. A. Single. One.
