Are Mac users snobs? “The Street” thinks so E-mail

In a stat that will make the music studios happy, Mac users “download more music - and pay for it too”, with “half of mac users downloaded paid for music, while only 16% of PC users did the same”.

Mac users are supposed to be “more liberal, socially and politically”, are “more likely to use laptops or notebooks”, may need to “pimp their rides as they are more likely to cruise in station wagons”, and Mac users are “green, worried about the environment and pay for more green tech”. 

Finally, in a “nod to Steve Jobs” prowess as a maker of quality technology, the video states that “Mac users are far more satisfied with their purchases than PC users, with 70% at the time of the recent survey expressing satisfaction as opposed to 59% of PC users”.

The video uses some of the popular “I’m a PC, and I’m a Mac” TV advertisements, spliced with a range of other video to illustrate the spoken words by a “The Street TV” reporter.

I keep wanting to buy a Mac myself, and am now torn over whether or not to get the MacBook Air because of its insanely thin dimensions, while also wondering just how good the MacBook Air 2 will be, whenever it is released.

I already own an iPhone and iPod Touch and love them, making a MacBook of some kind the logical next step.

So, if buying a Mac is going to make me a snob too, so be it! Make room, Mac users – I’ll be joining you soon, whether you like it or not! :-)
