It's about the hype and praise they get everywhere, which really is out of any relation if we take a look on what they offer for the money and how many bad anti consumer trends they started. moreIt's not about the notebooks they offer. I have plenty first hand experience with laptops.Ĭhe. But as long as mac OS keeps providing the environment that I prefer working in, I'll keep buying macs.Īnd if you prefer working in windows, that's great, I don't think you're stupid, or a sheep or dumb, you should download the version of windows you prefer and enjoy your computing experience. So while people have different reasons why they choose Apple products (to which they are entitled to, who are we to tell people what they should like or buy?) there are mac users like myself who know apple isn't perfect and we are more than happy to criticize them when it's due.
speaking of Apple silicon, the M1 soc is very impressive (I'm typing this on an M1 mac mini now) but I loved my intel mac mini and also my iMac because I could upgrade the RAM, so while everyone always said "I can upgrade my PC and you can't upgrade your Mac" I could push back (a little) and say well I can upgrade my RAM, but with the new SOCs looks like that will disappear too. Now, many of the things that people have said they don't like about macs or Apple in general I can agree with a lot of them – the anti-consumer stuff, overpriced (now with M1 it's the first time Apple can even enter the overpriced debate). But, all things considered I prefer the mac operating system to windows, so that means I buy macs. I've used windows more than mac OS I'd say – I had a 386, 486, a P5 (pentium) and many more and some of my best memories using computers was in MS-DOS. Before you say that I probably haven't used windows I'll stop you there and say I have. The reason I choose macs over computers running windows is because I prefer mac OS. "I love how my computer rings when I get a phone call / I love getting my iMessage messages on my computer too" - you do? I can't stand it, that's something I turn off straight away but each to their own. "Oh I couldn't live without airdrop" - um yeah you could, there are loads of ways you can get the same functionality on windows. I don't care about the "ecosystem" and often when I hear this as a benefit I tend to shake my head.
So, I'm a tech guy, front-end developer, been working in and using computers for a long time and I use macs. pc debates because I generally can't be bothered, I thought I'd throw in my two cents. It's about the hype and praise they get eve. AnonF-1006353, It's not about the notebooks they offer.
