Maybe and maybe not quite. But Macintosh, the box and the brand, is a 
consumerist ideology, the most profitable corporation in the US, the 
epitome of the Chinese-American exploitative production line, and what 
soft power wants to be when it grows up (ie, total ideological 
domination). So if you are already captured to the point of total 
servility, fine. They will enjoy that.
