Macs were never for hackers now iApple isn't - so what?
Sure they are. Macs are full Unix workstations that can also run Office and Photoshop, with a much better UI than Linux. The meme that Apple's computers are deliberately unfriendly to hackers has never been true, until the iPhone and iPad.

Non-standard hardware, that's all there is to say.
I don't know anyone who upgrades, repairs or hacks macs.
