A lawyer friend had one. He was always the first to get the latest gadget, and he latched onto Apple products early. I had used a DOS-based computer/word processor that used 5" floppy disks, and the new Macs were a revelation. After I got my Mac Plus I never went back to IBM systems (except when stuck with them for work). I also got a Powerbook in the early '90s. The thing was a brick compared to what's available now, but it seemed so cool to have a portable computer.
