Most hipsters/SJWs use Apple products as a status symbol. They simply need to show off how much money they spent.
It's the same with Wu's new PC. Spent a ton of money for an inferior product (mostly because for close to that money it still could have gotten a nice full tower with lots of air flow, an i7 processor that would be good for, you know, developing shit, and more RAM).
Wu Spent almost as much as I did for my new rig, and I have a 6 core i7, 64 GB DDR4 RAM, and 11TB of storage (2 5TB drives and a 1TB SSD). The only thing Wu has is a 1080, and I built mine months before the 1080s came out, but I have a 980Ti. But, mine is also used for more than just OMFGVRISSOAWZOMEGUIZE. Plus, since I know that thermal paste is still used, mine won't catch fire randomly.
Just like buying Macs, Wu spent more money on less power (and this is coming from someone who used Macs for a decade, but got tired of how overly expensive they were compared to equally or more powerful PCs-- and the lack of program support).
Plus, I know which damn power connectors to hook up to my video card.
GODZILLA OF TECH!
