I'm glad IBM has embraced Apple computers.  They have a very intuitive App Store that I can use to update software quickly and effortlessly.  I can easily update the operating system (and being old school dealing with numerous WinOS versions) rarely has there been an issue after an update unlike Win10.  This is exactly why I moved off Win10 for home use because of the various OS issues.  I know my Mac will just work.

I hope other large enterprises catch on to this.  Even though the initial investment is higher than a generic PC, over the lifetime the ROI is definitely higher with Apple as evidenced by this keynote.  Also there is less complaints and support tickets.  Apple is known to tightly integrate hardware with software, this is the cost benefit few in IT truly understand.

I think it should be a big black square that looks like a computer chip with the Apple Logo on top - a more truthful representation!

I set up Time Machine on Samba running SMBv3 - screams speed wise compared to AFP which is slower than frozen snot.  I then use IDrive to backup my entire Timemachine backup to the internet (2.5 TB with incremental).  Screw the physical external disk - oh and it restores beautifully - had to do it when I upgraded my Mac and restored from Time Machine.
