The Street has posted a video take—tellingly entitled Mac users are snobs—on Mindset Media's attention grabbing research that found Mac users to be more liberal, less modest and more assured of their own superiority.

New info / correlations in The Street's version:

Mac users more likely to use teeth-whitening products

Mac users bought on average five new pairs of sneakers in the last year

More likely to buy organic food

More likely to frequent Starbucks

Apple Store Online


More likely to own a hybrid car

Mac users are perfectionists

More likely to use notebooks

Prefer to drive station wagons

More likely to pay more for green products

More likely to pay for downloaded music

We've heard most or all of this before. But, five pairs of sneakers a year? Sheesh! I buy one pair of chucks every two years...

What's your take?

Refurbished iPhone, 8GB: only $349!

Mac users are not arrogant snobs, they just prefer superior computer products. Consumer Reports Magazine says Apple computers have the least amount of repairs of any computer brand out there.
Arrogant Mac users? Posted by Guest Poster #22 on 03/17/08 4:04 PM

you forgot mac users also frequently do pilates, yoga, eat organic food, drive volkswagens(especially the new ones), and love little sayings like, dance like no one is watching, love like you've never been hurt, and... some other horsecrap.

I don't think all of the "allegations" against mac users are bad... such as wanting to be "green," being open-minded, etc. But the snob part IS bad and although I fit many parts of the profile of a mac user, I do not use one. Most of the people I see carrying them around or using them in class are the types whose body language SCREAMS "I think I'm really great ****..." before you even talk to them. Who knows? Maybe they really are great ****. But more than likely, they are just dillusional. Also, the truly "great ****s" of the world don't have a need to follow every fad to prove it. ;)

Life is too beautiful to be dragged down by idiots. Let love (for the Mac) reign!
