Age old debate: Mac VS Microsoft PC

[Kak]

Nothing like a Windows computer... Leave it working totally fine, come back to zero way to connect it to the internet. Just what I wanted to do this afternoon, reinstall Windows from scratch.

How are the M1 Mac laptops? Anyone have one?

I have one - I love it, but don’t use it that much except when traveling. At my home desk and at office I have iMacs, the 27” ones. Those use a 10-core chip, which isn’t the Apple M1 but rather Intel I think.

I’ve switched to Macs 10 years ago and never looked back. I hate Windows. On Mac I never got a virus, and stayed for YEARS without any antivirus (I do have one now). Never had a blue screen of death. Never had to reinstall OS. Never had to do anything. With an old Mac laptop I’ve had for 10 years, in year 6, I had an issue with the ventilator… it just got very loud and made a strange sound. Turned out it was just dirty. Apart from that I also had to change the hard-drive of that super old Mac laptop because it just died at one point and I almost lost a lot of important stuff if I hadn’t saved it before. Those were the only 2 issues I’ve had, and all with a Macbook Air. My M1 Macbook Pro - no issue. My 2 iMacs - no issues (except had to install additional RAM on both).

Cool thanks!

So my wife has a ~2012 27" iMac and a ~2017 15 inch Macbook Pro... I bet the iMac is 10 years old, and its embarrassing that in most ways, it is still just as good as my 1 year old 11th Gen intel i7 PC laptop. Granted it was LOADED at the time. She just hadn't found any reasons to replace it.

I feel like I keep getting fooled by PCs and their "superior" hardware.

I gave up on Android phones a few years back and haven't looked back... Maybe it is time to just get Apple everything. I wish the iPad pro could do slightly more desktop crap. If they put Logic Pro and VST plugin capabilities on it, it would be all over. No more computers at all for me.
