One of my clients is swapping all of their sales people out of their windows laptops and into MacBook Airs because the sales people just need office and a web browser and the airs are far more impressive looking. I have another client where the sales people have windows laptops, but they're not allowed to bring them to client meetings, instead they have to bring their iPads.

It can be tricky. Sometimes customers get the feeling you rip them off when you show off with expensive gadgets or expensive cars.

Agreed, I have zero problems with this statement when qualified.
