How come women don't ever own desktops? I've never once met a girl who owns one. And almost all of them use macbooks. Why?

They're terrified of decent computers

girls only follow trends and whats popular/cool completely disregarding if its actually beneficial or not

it starts from a young age so it obviously trickles into adulthood.

have an hp laptop and a second hand desktop. it runs pretty alright

>go to university library
>see stacies on their laptops wearing uggs and scarves
>sticky notes and highlighters everywhere
>mfw these girls always get top marks in the class
>nerdy/dumpy girls always end up barely passing
Who knew stacy was so intelligent

For the same reason they overpay for those $1000 Facebook machines in the first place.
Status.
Windows is seen as nerdshit to them.
Give a woman a decent Lenovo laptop even, and she'll complain that it's not a Macbook. If she ever got a proper desktop she'd probably think of herself as a looser Yas Forums fembot or something.

desktops aren't convenient for them, they take up space, and they probably don't like the desktop aesthetic because its kind of geeky. it's not surprising mac became popular once they started working heavily on the aesthetics

I wouldn't own a desktop if I didn't play vidya on it, what's the point

Women don't do anything hardware-heavy that would require a desktop. Other than gaming, why would you need a desktop? If you just use it for youtube and facebook why not get a laptop? It's cooler and more convenient. I'd get a laptop instead if I didn't really need a battlestation.

Socializing is far easier for women, so it's likely that they won't stay next to a desk for very long.

Hi my name is Jess and I own a desktop. Congrats now you know one.

Because they don't need one. I sold my gaming PC for a laptop because it's too cumbersome to own and most games are boring.

An ex of mine owned a desktop, she was a huge vidya nerd

Why the hell do they get macbooks then when a shitty $300 laptop can run YouTube and Facebook just fine?

Why do they get iphones when a shitty $200 android can text just fine? It's cooler. Laptops are portable, you take it out to places. It's a status symbol. A $20 casio watch can tell time just fine. Why do you think guys buy rolex? It's built better, it looks cool and most important because you can afford it, and signalling that you have money is half the point of owning one at all.

omg jess you go girl

People in general don't own desktops anymore. Desktops are more of an enthusiast/power user thing these days.

what so u game on laptop?

because shiny brushed aluminum finish, they're like, so high quality.

>It's built better
Macs are built like garbage.

I have a desktop and never owned a MacBook. I stay away from that shit because I don't know how to deal with it. Yes, I am dumb.

But what's so great about Windows if you are not a gamer?

Gaming PCs are great for gaming obviously but laptops are shitty unless you are willing to spend more than $500 USD for one.

Plus laptops have the same CPU technology and DIMM technology (SO-DIMM) that smart phones have, apparently.

You're not paying a bunch of extra money for the illusion of quality?

I'm not an artfag but apparently it has really good proprietary art software or something, so I can understand that maybe it's high quality for an art hoe, but it's just odd to me that they would like at the most high-end Windows laptop like it's some kind of third-rate knockoff. This triggers my damn autism.

What the other user said. Also, it's the easiest to work with and the operating system isn't some "pretty" Linux distro.

>windows
>fucking windows
windows is retard normalscum shit

I'm pretty sure the thought process goes something like this:
>Woman needs computer device
>Doesn't know what she wants or even how to research what kind to get
>Knows macs are popular and "Cute"
>Gets daddy (Or chad) to buy her one because she NEEDS it.
>Will complain if they get her a cheap windows alternative and complain that "It's slow" or "It has viruses"
Basically women are too stupid to make decisions for themselves so they follow a brand.

This, plus the fact that they can almost always get someone else to subsidize their lifestyle. So the fact that it's expensive is less significant. Even in the rare event that she'd buy it herself someone is supporting her in a significant way that allows her to save all her income and again, fund this lifestyle. Boyfriend's paying the rent for example, so she has an extra $800 a month disposable income. Add that women never *really* work for their money, they have easy do-nothing bullshit jobs where they show up late to browse facebook then leave early and collect a check.

tfw there were no silver macbooks in stock so i had to buy a space grey one

Yeah but even that's considered loser territory to the Stacies with Macbooks. It's insane.

$300 laptops are shitty and limited.

please explain to me right now what goes through your mind when you purchase a mac
I won't even be mean to you
do you actually just have no idea what you are doing?
t. linuxfag

And what high-end programs are these women running on their Macbooks?
