I'll be honest mate, I wasn't aware we had to run it by you before we bought something.
But yeah, you got me. I'm buying it because I'm fucking loaded and want everyone to know it while I sit in the local Starbucks writing my next screenplay.
You don't have to justify anything, or even keep your trend-sucking purchase decisions to yourself, but as long as you want to crow about how well-sorted you have yourself and your computing, expect somebody to ask you why you're so eager to tell us. That's the kind of shit people spend their days generating on fucking Facebook.

As for longer battery life, it’s much appreciated when I’m not in the office.
Of course Apple is always cited by media producers but don't discount the fact that some users are wise to Apple and their approach to peripherals connectivity, and complain about it eloquently. Apple can't wait to sell you another connector to support your existing investments in peripherals. They make a lot of money that way, too. It's not just Apple Music and the Apple Store sales pitches.
Furthermore, what too many people mean when they talk about media production is the fancy advertising they can concoct for their website. My browser and 12-13 year-old hardware can still render, for example, the garish website that Branson's space tourism company throws up there, but struggles a bit to do it. I can imagine the fancy hardware and software they must have used to produce that shit. It's all about the benjamins, baby.
Longer battery life? Do you really want to behave like you're in the office for longer each day? If you own your own business, do what you have to do, capitalist running dog.
