    I don’t think that’ll be much of a problem. Nobody thinks Windows is shit because there are cheap low powered laptops.

      You’d be surprised. The amount of times I saw people go from 600€ hp laptops to 1800€ MacBooks only to think that Macs are amazing and windows is terrible is quite high. At least double digit.

        No they don’t.

        Not even in the 2000s were people blaming “windows” for their computer being slow. Most of them thought “windows” was synonymous with “computer” and wouldn’t even be able to make a criticism of an ‘operating system.’

          They do. Windows = computer. They want the cheapest computer they can get so they get the £199 one. Oh its incredibly slow. Oh but macs are supposed to be faster, but it costs more. So these people end up thinking that windows = cheap and slow, mac = expensive and fast.

          Of course the reality is both are shit and they should use Linux. I have installed Linux for a few people and generally they love it. I think mostly because its saved them money.
