Also, I sweat a lot. T_T Hard life. if you sweat a lot then go for water resistant earbuds and change your pads after you get home. it'll increase the life by at least 50%. | ||

Said demographic is probably large enough and is wasteful enough that Macs are probably profitable off of them alone. All the college-age kids who buy them even though it's not financially reasonable to do so are just icing on the cake. | ||

Even a lot of tinkers go Mac because they get tired of building their own stuff all the time. I don't understand why people have to get so worked up about Apple. People buy whatever they want, as long as it works well. | ||

Not sure don't have a measurement. Just know I'm anorexic and I 99.999% have thinner wrists than you :3 I forget how tall you are, but 6.5" doesn't seem like it would be tiny. Average wrist circumference is 7" and correlated to height, so if you're taller then ya that's tiny, but if you're average height that's well within normal range even if below the average. My wrists were super tiny before years of bone remodeling from lifting, now they are a gargantuan 6 1/4" =p. | ||

I'm 5'8" and 110 lbs so you can probably guess how thin my wrists are. | ||

Ok ya that's a very small wrist measurement, and would definitely match more appropriately with your height/weight(in fact there's no way you'd weigh that little if you had the bone structure of a man with 6.5" wrists). | ||
