    This is because of the cold. Apple Laptops dominate because they are (were at the time, anyway), the only screens that would survive those temperatures.

      One of the things I loved about Reddit was the super niche experts dropping into the comment section. I’m so glad Lemmy has this too.

        You’d think, but the macs held up great, and were easier to replace as they were often rented so needed to be sourced regularly.
